Drowning Erin by Elizabeth O'Roark
5.0

did i love this one…. MORE than waking olivia???? quite possible
IM ACTUALLY OBSESSED.
THE ANGST, THE PUSH AND PULL, THE DRAMA, THE TENSION. A FULL COURSE MEAL IM STUFFED IT WAS DELECTABLE

i DEVOURED this book. i absolutely eat up an angsty, years-long, will-they-won’t-they romance. and this DELIVERED. everything about it was so fucking good.

brendan MARRY ME KING i’m in love. his pov is mainly from four years prior to the storyline and i just looveeeeee reading about how much erin annoyed him. annoyance caused by attraction is literally the yummiest trope and brendan’s rent was DUE!!! him being such an asshole to her for no reason had me hooked on this man and i have no good reason for it. come to find out he’s actually OBSESSED with her?! AAAHHHHHHH

erin was kind of a let down for me, only in the sense that her misogyny was off the frickin charts. i get that it was due to jealousy but goddamn let these women live
