crazyylizard's review against another edition

Reading about privileged people bullying is not romantic. Add in an ax murderer and this could be a good book, but I know the goal of this book is for the two jerks fall in love. Pass.

My blue marker reserved for favourite lines in books is all over these pages. 
I got so used to shortlived romance stories, it seemed to be too long of a book at first, just for them to get to know each other. But towards the middle you start to think "oh, no, I need it to never end!"
It's seriously weird (I mean that as a compliment), has too deep quotes and little plot-twists and made me laugh too hard for being "just romance". 
Will re-read it when I need some cheering up.

lavenderlemonade's review against another edition

I just really didn’t like the way the protagonist talked about people’s bodies. I gave up the first time she called her boss

Fat Little Dick

but I’ve just got back to check if I was overreacting. She does it three times on one page. Not for me.

thought it was okay but upon further inspection, it's terrible because its characters are horrible people
