Kid by Jescie Hall

4.0

---

it was such a trippy ride reading this book. from the author's detailed story telling to her distinct character voices, it felt like i was right there with them. kid and han were such intelligent characters, it was a delight meeting them and watch their journey unfold. one of the tropes was 'he falls first' but i wanna say that this isn't your typical romance book be the back and forth between them was such a process. the fmc couldnt commit and i was so intrigued be im used to seeing fmc these days fold easily to the mmc that it loses the excitement a bit. kid and han are such unique characters, i dont think ive ever read main characters like them where the author shows their flaws and insecurities. both of them have deep inner struggles and it was honestly so refreshing to read because it makes them more human and not just your typical fictional character. you witness them battle their inner demons and you also struggle with them as they fight external temptations.

this a spin off to her first book, Hawke. I recommend reading that first so you get introduced to the universe

i cant go without telling u the smut is insane and sexy asf he's head over heels for her but she ghosts him. do i need to say more?

i usually dont gravitate towards these kinds of books especially be drugs are heavily talked about but istg i will read anything this author writes! she's flexible with her writing style and her creativity is just mad insane. loveee her work to bits. ive been a fan of her for years since i discovered her on inkitt. ive read all her books there and im so happy that she's finally starting to publish her books because dammit authors who are this good deserve it! if you love imperfect flawed characters and pitch black dark romance, @jescie.hall is the author for you. I cannot recommend her enough.
