⭐️: 5/5
🌶️: 4/5

This book is completely unhinged in the best possible way. It’s the very definition of a stalker romance, and Navessa Allen leans into that chaos perfectly. Ally and Josh are such lovable characters, and their chemistry makes the story impossible to put down. The banter between them adds just the right touch of comedy, balancing out the darker themes and making the romance even more addictive.

I found the isntalove to be a bit much and just found towards the end both characters kind of annoyed me. I didn’t want a super dark romance and heard it was a pretty good mild one but just didn’t really love it. I don’t know if I’ll pick up the second book.

When I tell you I am so mad I did not read this sooner, I mean it. This has been sitting on my shelf way too long & I am so happy I finally picked this up to read. 

I could not put this down, at all. This was so much more than I went into it expecting. I absolutely loved the banter between the FMC and MMC and that entire dynamic and how it played out. 😍

This would make one heck of a rated R movie & I would watch it instantly. Please make this a movie! 😂🫶 

I laughed out loud and enjoyed every single second of this book. It’s dark romance but it isn’t as dark as you’d go in thinking.

Do read the trigger warnings though just in case.
