The Misfit by J.L. Beck

adventurous challenging dark emotional hopeful sad tense medium-paced

5.0

I’ve loved every book in The Oakmount  Elite series and The Misfit was by far the most emotional for me. I absolutely loved the OCD, ADHD and anxiety rep that our MC Lee and FMC Salem gave us. I was curious about Lee since book 1, and now learning his heartbreaking backstory had me shedding a ridiculous amount of tears. Salem, was just as hurt and broken as Lee but found ways to live again through patterns. These two both saw to the core of the other without all the BS. No judgement just understanding and compassion. Did Lee do things he shouldn’t have to get Salem to fake date him? He sure did. But did he do it so he could protect her and get what he needed to? Yup. You will feel all the emotions in this book, but you will love every second.
