The Words by Ashley Jade, A. Jade
4.0

I should probably rate this a 3 star, but I'm feeling generous. This book was so long, y'all. I mean, it was good and I could NOT stop reading, but the amount of emotional torment packed into this book seemed endless.

It was practically perfect for what it was, a dark, smutty romance. BUT, I really wished the power dynamic had been a bit different. I wish that Lennon had taken her singing career when Phoenix abandoned her and then kicked his ass all the way across the stage, but instead the author made her this quiet, broken, cringy girl. It is a pity.

Anyway, if you were expecting anything other than a total shitshow of sex, drugs, and alcohol, this is not the book for you. However, it was a great example of its genre and an interesting story to boot. Not the best romance I've ever read. Not the best story. But I finished it and it made me cry, so for that it's a solid 3.5.
