If ur a fan of omegaverse with sweet guys, where society is the problem, u’ll probably like this book. 

Surprising Demisexual rep, I’m the opposite of disappointed. 

A/B/O ‘s aren’t my favourite so take my review with a grain of salt. 

A little rapey but no where near as much as typical for this genre. I liked the guys and how communicative they r with each other and her. She is very traumatized by her past, and I really want them to kill the government leader guy and her whole family. 

Mild spoiler:

what is wrong with Dave in the end of the book, my theory is they have like brain washed him somehow, maybe thats what they did to the “good-guy” politicians? I just don’t think he’d say something like that to Clem, and then just take Josie to that room.

You know ....I downloaded this book seeing a small passage on TikTok. I managed to read a 500 some page novel in under 24 hours.

This book at times reads very Wattpad-y and could have used another edit or two for being so repetitive, like we get it Josie has self-esteem issues, but beyond that it's a really solid romance book with a sci-fi/dystopian subplot that kept me glued to my seat.

Onto the next one!

I really enjoyed this book. It was a bit of a rough read from a trauma perspective. The characters are loveable and it's a bit like a slice-of-life that has them coming together to deal with their shit. Sprinkle in a bit of fighting to overthrow a distopian government. Be sure to read TWs.

This story of healing and giving love a second change is an absolute heart tugger and IM SO EXCITED FOR BOOK TWO!
You can not help but fall in love with all of Pack Ashwood because they just have so much love to give to Josie and she deserves every drop of it. 
The driving scene is so funny! 
I can’t wait for more
