Fine as Part of a Series, Not a Stand-Alone


Per usual, an epic emotional rollercoaster! Lev and Bailey are best friends. Friends since childhood. Bailey saved Lev after his Mom passed away. The relationship was a ticking time-bomb. Would it explode at any minute? This story was addicting. So many emotions, some very hard themes. There is something about someone who won’t give up on you. Lev and Bailey had such a bumpy journey. But it was so worth the hurt and pain.

DID NOT FINISH: 0%

The main characters are both unbearable 

This whole series has been amazing so far.

I love that the main characters didn’t just “end up together” at the end.

They did their work.

I really hope there is a Dixie and Dean story later on.

Man, this book will put you through it. I'm talking ALL OF THE EMOTIONS! It's so fu**ed up, but brilliantly written.

DNF @ 24%

Idk if I would’ve liked this book more had I read the others by the author. I got it in my probably smut book club subscription. They really need to stop sending books in a series.

Characters were hard to like/follow
The romance was weird to me (probably with how young the characters are)
Just not here for the fuckboy MMC.

She lost her touch 

Shen is just THAT bitch. Would love to see more from this series/universe.
