REREAD REVIEW:
I still don't understand how they fell in love with each other. The book didn't explore in detail what made them fall in love. I'm still indifferent towards Ava and Alex. I was not invested in them, and I honestly didn't care if they all died. To be fair, I only started to like Alex a little bit in the other books. For me, he was unlovable in Twisted Love. As for Ava, meh. She was so bland and uninteresting (even in the succeeding books).
When I first read this, I was disappointed with the smut. After rereading it, my opinion still hasn't changed.
The last part (confrontation part) will always be funny to me because it was overly dramatic.
I'm dropping my rating to 2 stars after my reread because, let's be honest: this book is not good at all. I must admit it's entertaining, though.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
2.5 stars (3 stars on GR since it's rounded up)
Did I love the book? No. Was I entertained while reading it? Yes.
For me, reading is a way to destress. It helps me escape all the nuances of life, so I try to finish all the books I read - even if I find the story so unbelievable and preposterous. I try not to DNF books out of respect for the authors (no matter how bad the book is, authors spend their time and energy creating them). Also, I don't think I ever came across a book that really made me mad to the point of me not bearing to read it at all.
This book is both unbelievable AND preposterous. I don't mind fiction books veering away from reality (they are fiction, of course) - hello, I love fantasy books - but you just know when a book is too much fiction it's nuts. This book is it.
Let's be real: Alex is toxic. No sugarcoating. Alex is a stalker. No lies. Alex and Ava are messed up (to be fair, both MCs are very much aware of how messed up they are). That's the truth. Do I envy Ava for having someone like Alex? Definitely not. 😂
This book/The Twisted series is getting a lot of hype. Taste and preferences are subjective, so I don't question people who love this book/series. As I've said, I was entertained while I was reading it, and I read to destress. So yes, I will still read the rest of the series (I am low-key excited to read Twisted Games because Bridget piques my interest).
Do I recommend this book? No. Do I recommend it to someone who just wants to read something and who doesn't mind wasting their time? Yes. 😂
