A review by max_the_lesbrarian
Infamous by Lex Croucher

4.0

Infamous was the light-hearted romp that I was desperately needing in my life. The characters were fun and full of life, impressively no one felt too much like a flat caricature which in books like this, can be incredibly difficult to pull off. The romance between Rose and Eddie was both sweet and infuriating (in the best possible way) - this might be the first time I read a slow-burn where they're kissing on the first page.

There were definitely times when I gripped this book in two hands and near-yelled at Eddie about how naïve she was being - sometimes having the effect of watching a slow-motion car crash which easily could've been avoided - though at times I did have to cringe at her "friends'" treatment of those they considered below them and Eddie's near-complete acceptance of this. Let's just say that Rose tolerated a lot more from her friend that I would've put up with.

Overall though, it was a very fun romance with some good things to say, and I am excited to read Croucher's next book.

Thank you so much to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the free e-ARC in exchange for an honest and fair review.
