I try to be constructive in my reviews so I will be. But I felt like I just wasted my time reading a book and that’s one of the worst things one can feel. This in short was about two white rich kids who refuse to get help and lean on each other’s addictions to selfishly thrive.
This book was in short: very boring. Nothing stuck out to me, nothing stuck with me. I felt like it was dragging. I felt like there was no spark between these two. Even the spice scenes seemed bland. There was no build up, no real climax. It was the same thing over and over again.
The only characters I like were the side characters because they added a little flair but in short this infuriated me. I don’t get the hype with this.
And I know, I know. Im going to get “omg wait for book 3 and above you’ll be eating your words” possibly but right now, I would be surprised if I do continue.
This was a mess. The writing style itself was fine if you take into account this was a debut novel however, this was so incredibly dragging. The characters also were immature, and it was almost as if the addiction part of all this was more glamorized than actually seeking help— this read like a high school romance rather than college. And if you’re gonna be like “ok but tish you read a bunch of rich white people books” — yes but that is a millionaire romance or mafia and they actually made me FEEL- this made me feel nothing but annoyance.
The characters DO seek help but at the very end. In short, this was a snooze fest. I literally almost dnf’d atleast 4 times but continued because I told myself I would read this in order to have my own view of this.
This was definitely one of the worst start to a series ever. And genuinely I haven’t felt this annoyed that I wasted my time since I read ACTOAR.
I will continue this series but it’s not because I liked book 1 it’s because I’m curious to see if I actually do end up falling hard for this series but right now it’s completely avoidable and in my opinion overhyped....more
I want to gate keep the hell out of this series. No joke that’s how much I loved the first book. I will say this, after reading Indigo Ridge I felt thI want to gate keep the hell out of this series. No joke that’s how much I loved the first book. I will say this, after reading Indigo Ridge I felt the premise was the same and I will say the FMC really annoyed me in the first few chapters but, but then it started to really come together. This was a heavy strangers/ enemies to lovers romance. I loved the mystery aspect of the plot, I love the found family, I loved the main couple. Dev Perry writes some good steam, I wouldn’t consider her spicy but when she gives us a scene or two she shines. Regardless, I want to gatekeep this series because I have a feeling this might end up being one of my favorite series ever. I’m immediately hoping onto book 2. ...more
