Welp… I’m in shambles. Rebecca Yarros has absolutely no right to put me through the emotional rollercoaster that she did. I am a mess and I am eagerly awaiting for more!

This book was so incredibly disturbing and yet, it was like I was reading art… Read at your own risk. This will mess you up.

I mean, I read the whole thing so there’s that. If you’re looking for a trashy romance read (and I mean that as a term of endearment), then this is the book for you. Unfortunately, I just did not find the characters lovable, perhaps because they were pretty 2 dimensional. The love interests were both incredibly toxic and coming from someone who has an avoidant attachment love style, Gen was a hot freaking mess. 

Besides the characters, there were grammatical errors throughout the book that made my brain tick a little. I also felt like every rom com scenario that has ever been invented was thrown into the book whether it made sense to the plot or not. Not my favorite but once again, I got through the whole thing.

INCREDIBLE!!! Definitely my new favorite book! The world building, the plot, the romantic tension…. There’s not a single part of this book I didn’t enjoy!

It’s a quick, easy read. With it being so short, it was really hard to get a full picture for the plot and there were some grammatical errors. It’s a good book to read when you want to let your brain rot for a bit (that’s a compliment)

If you played the game called Episodes as a kid, this will give you some flashbacks. It’s basically that in book form. Bad writing, trashy plot, and unlovable characters. The only redeeming quality is that it was a choose your own adventure so it felt nostalgic.

Despite editing errors such as misspelled words, improper grammar, etc, this gets five stars from me. I’ve never seen a ddlb romance and I loved this! It got me out of my reading slump. I just want to read and reread this book.
