This is actually so funny, and I am literally going to read the next book right now
Is this the best book ever? Best piece of literature I've ever read? Probably not. Did I gobble it down? Absolutely.

Is it literature? No. Did I devour it? Yes.
I clicked on Broken Bonds because it was an RH and I LOVED the cover. Seriously, I mean look at it, it's gorgeous. The story inside this beautiful book totally surpasses the cover, which is saying something.
Broken Bonds is my first introduction to J. Bree. To say I will be one-clicking her books for the rest of forever is an understatement, but let me get into the story.
Oli ran away from her Bonds, the people in her life that were meant to love and cherish her beyond everything five years ago. She was flying under the radar, not using her gifts and hiding from her Bonds and the organization that really wants her until she's found and dragged back to face her Bonds. To say they loathe her would be an understatement. She's now forced to attend college with students and her Bonds who hate her and she's chipped like a dog with only a small range of area around the college that she's allowed to go.
I don't want to give much more away about the story, cuz I don't want to give any spoilers away, but I will say Broken Bonds is an absolute must-read. I freaking loved Oli. She's strong, fierce, and was just an all-around enjoyable character to be in reading about. Despite being treated like garbage she never intentionally hurts those around her and I love how she was so caring for the ones she loved.
Her Bonds were interesting as well. I was a bit sad we didn't get any insight into their thoughts with alternative POV's, which would usually have me lowering my ratings a bit, but that didn't happen here. Broken Bonds was flawless. It ends on a cliffhanger and I know I'm going to be going crazy until I can find out if my characters are going to get a HEA.

The writing, especially in the first couple books isn’t the best. The FMC’s character is a bit annoying at first, felt like she was trying to come off too hard as ‘not like other girls’ but really picked up through the series. The plot and character development was insanely entertaining. Loved the enemies to lovers dynamics in the first book.

So I’ve been seeing people on TikTok and Goodreads read this book and say it’s amazing… and they actually had it right this time. Broken bonds is a fast paced book for sure and it was definitely pretty good on character development. It’s a mix of many different books i’ve read previously but I can’t quite put my finger on it. Basically you have your main character, Oli, who is running from her five bonds… she gets trapped, and then has to go to a school for the gifted… sound familiar? Throughout the book you uncover secrets and slowly become haters to lovers. Will be reading the next books in the series.
