LOVELY TRIGGER by R.K. Lilley, R.K. Lilley
2.0
What the Hello did I just read?
I…
I buddy-read this with a friend, and we are both in disbelief.
This 2⭐️ is the most generous rating, and we had to skim a lot of this to make sure we didn’t DNF.
So let me do a recap:
Tristan (H) and Danika (h) are new adults with their own set of problems. h is a not-that-strong codependent mess with family issues and H is a hotheaded lead singer who can hardly keep it in his pants. They meet, attraction ignites, and they become addicted to each other in every sense of the word but love.
Instead of love, they feel affection, adoration, and anger. They feed off of jealousy, as H punches any guy who breathes in h’s direction and h puts herself in precarious situations to intentionally hurt herself.
Through the ups and downs, their obsession and addiction never ends. Not when H’s brother dies, not when h is assaulted and injured, not even during H turning into an abusive druggie. After years of sobriety, they still have a codependent addiction for each other so much so that h self-sabotages a healthy relationship after being brainwashed that H’s behavior is romantic and caring.
Now, here comes the question: do they get children and a white picket fence?
They do.
Even in this toxic, filthy codependent relationship, they do. h sobbingly tells she has a medically necessary hysterectomy and she could never have kids. But apparently, no one ever told her when she woke up from her surgeries that she could still have eggs but wouldn’t be able to carry. So they get children via surrogacy.
And that concludes the Wattpad romance of Tristan and Danika.
My personal, subjective opinions:

What did I just read?
This entire series felt like I was in the trenches and my friend and I were pulling each other through corpse of good plot and characterization. This series isn’t NA; it is YA dressed as NA.
For some reason, jealousy is necessary in every single relationship in this book. “Claim your man” made my friend and I want to return the book.
People, I want to make this clear: jealousy is not a functional, healthy, and/or loving foundation for a relationship, platonic or otherwise. People turning into cavemen and killing someone who looks at their partner is a
