i read it in just a few days. Alex is a bono and a great book-character (but i won’t hide that i’d probably run away from someone like him).

huge spoiler warning for this review I have a lot to say for some reason but tdlr without spoilers: the first third is fun but then I realised the writing is actually awful and the plot is stupid and Alex is actually insanely toxic and a bit pathetic

anyways

so as I said the first third or so was alright, I got really invested for the first half because I kind of liked the whole enemies to lovers kind of thing even tho they weren't exactly enemies she just didn't like him much and he wasn't interested. but the moment he took interest in her he was just full of red flags like storming into a photoshoot just because she was with another guy and deleting the pics of her like wtf ?? I'm supposed to like this man who's so overprotective she can't have a life of her own if it involves another man (weren't even friends let alone dating at this point btw).

and on top of the countless red flags, there were dumb plot holes like Alex somehow putting Michael in prison only 24hr after they got a confession from him with no court case or ANYTHING. and him discovering stuff about his uncle and literally an hour later the writer saying he had someone researching him "day and night" like it's been literally an hour?? an HOUR?? 

the height of the book was at the 75% mark, I skipped a fair bit after that because it was BORING and then when I did read it the rest was Alex literally following her to London when she wanted nothing to do with him and she had found out he'd been lying to her their whole relationship. and yet he not only hired someone to follow her but shows up and says he is going to be the one following her literally stalking her around London. and he's all pathetic begging for forgiveness and saying he had his heart opened as if he didn't ruin her life, almost gt her killed, STALK HER, prioritise himself at every turn and be insanely overprotective and controlling the whole time. AND SHE FORGIVES HIM

a load of shit imo

If you LOVE drama, this is the book for you. If you LOVE men who are huge red flags, this is also the book for you.

Couldn’t put this book down!

Ava and Alex relationship took so many twists and turns, so,e expected and some really really unexpected. This book made me feel every emotion, so,e points were sad, others were funny I was actually laughing out loud, I felt joy and happiness, suspense and anger. The spice of their romance was off the scales and jeez they both knew it 

The ending gives you so much hope and joy, love really does make the world and can change even the most hurt and lost souls!

 Can’t wait to read the rest of this series, would 100% recommend this book but, please check the triggers beforehand as some scenes are very tough
