There is something about Anna’s books that I cannot get enough of.
this is definitely in my top two or three of her books so far!
Sloane was such a great female lead and a little different than what she normally does. I love that she was professional and logical and for lack of a better phrase, not as rules by her emotions. I mean, the dedication? Amazing.
I thought both Sloane and Xavier had such amazing character arcs and growth too. The theme of dysfunctional family dynamics is a big theme in Anna’s work and I kind of liked that in this book the characters ground personal peace on their own. We weren’t given answers if “perfect closure” because so many people don’t get that in real life. (Aka sometimes parents are awful and we don’t need to be friend with sisters).
The romance was also amazing! Sloane and Xavier are the definition of opposite attracts. The reverse grumpy sunshine was so lovely. One of my favorite tropes!
I thought this had some great spice, but given how thick this book is, it did not over power the romance or plot.
Overall, I loved it!
I still think Twisted Lies is my all time Favorite BUT I have a feeling King of Envy might give it a run for it’s money! Ahhh!
