Don't Leave Me by Eden Emory

5.0

Actual rating: 4.5⭐️

I know that stepsisters trope is a thing, but I never got the grasp of it, I always find it really weird. Well, until I read this one. I mean, it is still weird for me but this book has opened me to a possibility of reading another one from this trope.

I have a love-hate relationship with miscommunication trope as it frustrates me to the core, but I get it with this one. I totally understood why after all those years of pining and longing, they cannot communicate well. It was too complicated for them to act on it. And those years of pining, wanting, and longing was what led them to this, it was those years that made it extra spicy.

I love this book so much. I loved this one more than Don't Stop Me. And that is big especially from someone who loves age gap trope and is weirded about stepsisters/miscommunication trope.

I just can't get myself be over with the obsession Lillian and Sloan has for each other, its embedded in my mind making me want more from them. That last chapter before the epilogue, I can't get it off my head. And don't make me start talking about the epilogue.

Will I recommend this? Definitely but please do read the warning first. I think this one is slightly less darker than the first book on this series but still its dark and please do read the warning and read at your own risk.
