A review by fischers_reads
Brix by Brooke O'Brien

medium-paced

4.5

I’ve been a hoe for step sibling romance for a while now and I’ve been meaning to read “Brix” for what feels like forever. Ivy comes home from college for the summer to a new house. Her mother is engaged to Jasper and has moved in with him. Little does she know there is someone else staying there and it’s a guy she’s known since the 9th grade, Jasper’s son. Brix has always made fun of Ivy since high school and quite frankly she hates him for it. So finding out they are going to be living under the same roof for the summer was a shocker but what was worse is their parents eloped without them knowing. Their banter back and forth got down right mean and I loved every second of it. The tension is there and it’s tensioning! I read some reviews that said it was “cringy” but honestly I didn’t think so. I did however hate the 3rd act 😡 We know exactly what the 3rd act was going to be super early in the book and I wasn’t a fan. Oh, and the reason he was a dick in the first place pissed me off. Otherwise I loved this book so much and added the next book to my TBR.
