The Monster
by L.J. Shen
damn this shit was angsty fr and the main guy is a terrible person but i just can’t help but love the main couple at the end of these kinds of books even after the main guy being a dickhead sexist freakazoid bc i always end up forgetting why i hate him in the first place. i can for sure acknowledge that he is a terrible person bc i hate when men are like i only thought of you when i was w other women like why you with other women and hes highkey sexist and is so rude and cold to the main girl despite her loving him for a decade. also he’s a pedo freak bc why tf you kissing a 17 year old at your grown ass age… would it hurt the author sm to make the main girl 18 at that moment but even if she’s 18 ew to a grown ass man wanting a teen yk. i be talking all this shit but the ending did get me good ngl i talk out of my ass fr. but i really wasn’t w fan of the main guy for majority of the book until the ending bc i won’t lie the groveling is kinda good he spent months tryna win her back but he took forevs to realize that he wants her like even after she said she was done w him he was like ok i don’t need her until he got some closure from her dad like come on you gotta step it up. the main girl i was rooting for bc the beginning of the book i was like stand up pls don’t let this man talk down to you and piss you off like that especially when he brought another girl to this party that looked just like her dead to me she goes through sm. i loved reading her stand up to him tho like when she was over his shit i was cheering so hard like her snapping on everyone was what i was waiting for bc everyone sees as this quiet complaint girly working at the hospital and all that but she’s sm more to that and has grown through sm but no one knows bc she doesn’t tell him but it’s bc they don’t really pay attention to her like come on. the brothers hella annoyed me w the way they were treating her in the family making her feel like an outcast come on that’s your sister and you’re gonna act like that tf. she’s literally such an interesting character to read bc even tho i was like stand up i get why she’s like that as she was the caretaker to her mom when she became supes depressed and she just wants someone to take care of her and seeks for the approval of others that she’ll sacrifice her own peace for them like come on that’s my girl let her breathe. stop when she made that plan to figure out the person who was behind the conflict w her parent’s marriage was the main guy ugh she’s so smart and she’s moving on from the main guy i love that sm. also i was hoping for the dad to be a good at the end bc of the way the main girl described her parents dynamic they’re toxic but they do love each other which was why i was hoping what the main guy found out about him and his mom wasn’t true and i was right but main guy literally insane fr bc he could’ve talked about it to the dad but he wanted a reason to not want the main girl i was just like… i wanted her not to end up w him for majority of the book but then his redemption arc got me it wasn’t even the best but my standards are so low but he was just always seeing the main girl consistently and groveling for months to do whatever she wanted him to do but then all a sudden he tried flipping the tables and all a sudden he’s saving himself for marriage like ok he got his comedic bits at times and then him and the main girl played a blackjack game where if he won she would marry him and he won but he was like this isn’t just another game i want you so bad fr and all that and my corny ass was like that’s so romantic omg pls someone shoot me for this. he’s still a freakazoid pedo tho for preying on the main girl when she was 17 and grieving after her bestfriend which took me a while to realize it was the governess house maid she has and that the french italics where her consciousness pretending to be the old bestie like i forgot the main girl was irish and that wasn’t her mom in her head but no that’s the bestie whoops. but yeah he’s mad weird but the thing is these book ratings are based on my enjoyment and not on what a good book is but that will dock a few points bc ew i cant enjoy a pedo too much. like why lj shen books been giving rina kent fr anyways i’ll give this a 8/10 i was extremely hooked i couldn’t put this down it’s crazy.
