A review by kfalsreads
Scandalized by Ivy Owens

5.0

ALL THE STARS!!! This book is everything I could want in a romance!

I absolutely ADORED Alec and Gigi! They were great people individually, and together they were electric! They were open and considerate, intelligent and loyal, ambitious and relatable, and watching them fall deeper into feelings for each other with maturity and without hesitation was THE BEST!!!

There was no self-doubt, self-sabotage, miscommunication, or drama (except for that brief moment in the third act, of course). It was just a beautiful progression of a whirlwind relationship.

The steam was ELITE—never cringey, IMO—and there was A LOT OF IT, but it worked because Ivy (or Lauren of CLo) did such a great job of adding in so beautifully the escalating emotions accompanying each scene. And don’t even get me started on Chapter 13
