1.75
Type of read: Commuter Read.
What made me pick it up: BookTok made me do it.
Overall rating: Comically horrible. I don't understand what Huang was trying to accomplish with 'Twisted Love.' There's so much going on and so little actual substance.
If you're looking for...
-A man who has a taste for vengeance.
-A woman with a messed up past who sees everything through rose-colored glasses.
- Dead families.
-An uncle with a thick, Eastern European accent.
-A best friend who is a princess.
-A stalker ex-boyfriend.
-Suppressed memories and a broken family.
- Paternity gone wrong.
-One of the weakest enemies to lovers I've ever read.
-Random swimming lessons.
-A mysterious man who has all of the connections, funds, and intelligence - oh yeah, and he's had it since he was a preteen when he created his company and just willy-nilly handed it over to his uncle (yeah, that one with the accent) for safe keeping until he "came of age."
-Tax evasion and corporate fraud.
-Spicy scenes you're supposed to believe are not vanilla. Alex has absolutely nothing on the Bat Boys - I would go so far as to say the scene in ACOFAS is spicier, or at least much more awkward to read than anything Alex and Ava do.
-A MMC with highly superior autobiographical memory aka REMEMBERS EVERYTHING and a FMC that doesn't remember anything from her childhood.
-Not-so-secret martial arts skills.
...then be my guest and waste a few days of your life with 'Twisted Love.' It's binge-able, mainly because it's so comically bad. It feels like Huang took all of the ideas they ever had for a book and put it into this single storyline, not caring if it actually made sense or just possibly sounded the teeny tiniest bit cool.
Reader's Note: 'Twisted Love' includes themes of sex, death, torture, attempted murder, drowning, kidnapping, stalking, and illegal activity.
