The first 50% of this book had me in an absolute CHOKEHOLD. My gawddddd. 🥵
Then it took a turn. This turn had me laughing and making faces because what the actual f*ck was that?! But ugh, I still loved it. So I guess that says more about me than it does about the book.
These two were brought into a family that, let’s be honest… sucks, and weren’t exactly in a nurturing environment to overcome their respective traumatic childhoods. But, they clung to each other and their relationship developed into a toxic, co-dependent, secretly have the hots for each other foster sibling bond. And I ate it up!
I’ll agree the ending felt a little chaotic and rushed but to be fair the entirety of the book was messy as hell. These two found their way back to each other after some of the weirdest things I’ve ever read happened…. there was a gas mask and a spider involved. And I’m not even a little mad.
I definitely need some more Malachi and Olivia. On to Little Liar we go! 🕷️

wish we could have gotten dual POV during their childhood, I would have LOVED to see Malachi's POV as a child/teen and maybe about his time in prison. I hated Olivia for leaving Malachi and going back to her engagement. I about cried how Malachi's heart broke. "Please choose me. Nobody ever chooses me." 😭

A duet which was a surprise.
The best way a book like this could be done in my opinion.
listen to this book was not easy and made my skin crawl, but…
It was kind of like… studying the brain of psychopaths and listening to their ramblings.
