Dicho eso, volvamos a Twisted Hate:
He disfrutado la trama de este libro desde el principio porque Jules me robó el corazoncito y su pasado me rompía el alma en mil pedazos, así que estaba con ella deseándole lo mejor contra viento y marea.
Josh...estaba ahí. Diría que lo soportaba, pero sería demasiado amable.
Me gustaba verlo con otros personajes y creo que tenía mucha química con Alex y su second chance bromance.
Pero mientras que con Alex en Twisted Love pensaba: "tio, ve a terapia o algo y supera esta etapa emo que tienes"; con Josh pensaba: "no hay nada que se pueda hacer, hay que sacrificarlo".
(Aun lo pienso).
A favor de mi propuesta de eliminación total de este hombre ficticio, presentaré las pruebas de que Alex Volkov, psicópata ya conocido, dijo: "buah, tio, te pasas". Si Alex piensa que te estás pasando, teniendo una casa a las afueras digna de un asesino en serie...Es que estás mal.
Terminaré esta breve opinión con una reflexión: Si los protagonistas masculinos de la serie Twisted se quedaran encerrados en una habitación, y dando por hecho que Josh ha desaparecido en misteriosas circunstancias por cierto acto perpetrado en este libro...¿Solo habría silencio o se comunicarían entre gruñidos?

⚠️⚠️⚠️This review contains spoilers!! Spoilers below ⚠️⚠️⚠️
Somehow, each book in this series continues to get better!
I thought for sure this book because it is enemies to lovers, and that is typically not my favorite trope, wouldn't be my favorite Twisted book. But so far, I think this is. Ana Huang might be becoming a new favorite author for me.
I love that these books have strong friend groups, enjoyable steamy scenes, but also captivating plots aside from the romance.
I felt for Jules and Josh as they navigated their traumas and daddy/mommy issues and how they ultimately made those hard decisions and handled things, in order to help them grow and be able to move on without letting those truamas control them. I also enjoyed seeing more of the softer side of Alex and how he and Josh talked and worked on repairing their broken friendship. Jules acknowledgment of growing up and how it feels to be an adult and have less time for friends and friendships changing as people marry was so relatable and described very well.
I would definitely recommend this series! It can be a bit corny at times, but so can any romance book, but these books leave me hugging the book against my chest and believing in love. They also make me reflect on my own friendships, parent relationships and traumas- in a good way I think- and I think that says a lot about the author's ability to write relatable and complex life-like characters/relationships.
And I love how Ana tied in Christian- the love interest in the next book-into this series as well. I am definitely intrigued to learn more about Stella and Christian!
