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.

The writing seemed choppy and subpar to what I usually read. I had a hard time getting past the feeling of reading someone's poorly thought out diary entries in some parts. The dialogue and spicy scenes were good though.

There is no redemption for the mmc. He is a horrible person. It was unbelievable and disturbing.

I started reading in October last year, fell into a reading slump and continued the book in February this year.

Twisted Love is one of my favourite books. The fact that Alex is a tense, stern guy, but becomes soft around Ava is just amazing. The characters are extremely lovable and i genuinely want to be a part of Ava, Bridget, Jules and Stella’s friend group. The tropes are amazing. Personally, i found the part where he sang for her sweet and not cringe as others say. The book is great, although it gives a bit of wattpad vibes.
