bellebookstitch666's review against another edition

I read the prequel to the book and thought it was great. But this book stunk. To start, Rachel came off as wushu-washy and manipulative in the book. The other characters, Jake, Caleb, and Ilmari, were more interesting. However, the relationship between them felt forced. Each guy had an insecurity and it soon felt like a competition. Anytime the book tries to approach that subject for a real conversation, it barely covers it before jumping into an excessive make out/ sex session. Ilmari joins the relation halfway into the book but it still feels forced. I especially found Ilmari to be more interesting. The storyline about his injury and background was better compared to the other plot. However I didn’t like his relationship with Rachel. The biggest issue was how she handled him and his bio dad. At first, Rachel didn’t know that Dr. Hella was his bio dad but then she pushes Ilmari to forgive him and form a relationship. I’m sorry, I can excuse Rachel not knowing who Dr. Hella was to Ilmari but to push him to accept him was the straw that broke the camels back.

This was the sluttiest thing I’ve ever read. Woah. I picked it up as a joke and got sucked in. I did not at all expect to read a 105 chapter book in a week or less. This is not for the faint of heart and I had no clue what I was in for. There are many kinks that I didn’t know about or arn't interested in but it held my attention. The writing is honestly meh, it was cringy and sappy and kind of stupid but I can’t say I didn’t kind of love it in the end. The characters are well rounded and their own individual people which is appreciated. And while our main character annoyed me a few times I warmed to her too. What a wild ride.
