The Words by A. Jade
3.0

Although I overall enjoyed this book I feel the more I read through it the more I found things that just annoyed me. So for the things I did not like:
Too many traumatic stuff going on, I feel like the Author couldn't pick her struggle and decided to just write in a bunch of them in - First: Eating disorder, Self Esteem issues, Bullying, Abusive and Alcoholic parents, Sex, Drugs & Rock and Roll, Second chances, Unplanned pregnancies', Death, Toxic Relationship and that is just what I remember right now.
Second thing I did not like was the angst between the mmc and mfc, after a few chapters it got old fast and frustrating like you did not need 564 pages in my opinion, which brings me to my third criticism .. this book really needed some editing and dialing down and maybe cleaned up the story a bit better or break it down into a trilogy.
Oh one other thing I disliked was if I heard the freaking phrase
Spoiler" going in balls deep"
one more time I was going to fling the book across the room.
What I liked:
Overall I did enjoy the story, the characters and some of the banter was funny and kept me entertained. It is a fast paced book so even when I was frustrated and annoyed it was a very easy book to follow and read. The spice was decent.
so yes I'd still recommend and I would even recommend the audiobook.
