Dishonestly Yours by Krista Ritchie, Becca Ritchie

5.0

Oh my goshhhhh! This book is INCREDIBLE. It is fighting for my top book of this year. Super super easy 5-star to give! Everything about this story is purely incredible and just what I needed. 

This book is super angsty, dark, and drama-filled and I am here for it. It absolutely flew by! I had to break it up into chunks due to being busy but I know I would've totally binged this if I were less busy. I totally ate it up and adored every moment. This factor is a good part of why I knew this gave me the 5-star feeling. 

Every character is fantastically written. They are all just so addictive. Not just Phoebe and Rocky, absolutely all of them. Some are more devilish than others which upped appeal. Their various complicated relationship dynamics and inherent trust (or distrust) in one another made them perfect for the plot.  I really really want to see more from this group. The banter and quips the boys had in particular were especially amusing. The blend of humorous moments with more serious moments was totally perfect.

The cliffhanger has me foaming at the mouth for this to become a major series and never end. I was shockingly satisfied with the answers that were given in the story versus the things that are still secret to perfectly set up for a continuation. I am begging for the next installment to come out as soon as possible because I need it. 

This book is definitely a dark romance. There are violent and graphic moments that may be triggering to some readers. There is also open door spice of various levels. If those are not your vibe, sadly this is not the book for you. 

If you couldn't tell from the extreme ranty length of this review, I adored it! If you can handle it, you need to read this. Just go, go get the book for yourself, it is worth every penny. 

I received this book as an arc from Valentine PR. This review is honest and voluntary
