i realized that this book has a second part and then also a sequel and although the book is good and i enjoyed reading it, i couldn’t find it in myself to be excited to read all of them. all together it’s about 1,600 pages.

For such a long book the story dragged. I’m not sure I can finish this book then go on to read part 2. I found the FMC draining and whiny. I love a good OV story especially when it’s cozy and low angst. I feel like this book had too much crying and self deprecation. I understand that self love is a journey but the way the FMC was depicted in the beginning as head strong and forceful I was expecting someone more confident and self assured. Instead we get someone who cries at the drop of a hat. Every interaction with her alphas start with her crying and them reassuring her that they do care and find her attractive. This book definitely had potential to be great especially with the underlying government/political  issues, I just couldn’t get past the characters to continue reading to learn more.

Summary
Josie has been through things most people can't even imagine and she's given up hope of being able to find a pack with love. Cam, Ben, and Theo have given up finding an omega for their pack in part due to how horrible omegas are treated by society. When they're paired together by the resistance, they both may have found what they're looking for.

Thoughts
The best omegaverse I've read in a while in terms of overall storytelling. This book was very dark, but there's something about the writing and the characters that kept me hooked. I adored the way the guys always put Josie's feelings ahead of their own and they spent as much time as needed to make her feel secure. The overarching plot about the government and the resistance's fight against it was very detailed and seamlessly integrated. What a crazy cliffhanger though.

FMM, omegaverse, Why Choose?, explicit, plus size heroine, trauma, nesting, knotting, cliffhanger

If ur a fan of omegaverse with sweet guys, where society is the problem, u’ll probably like this book. 

Surprising Demisexual rep, I’m the opposite of disappointed. 

A/B/O ‘s aren’t my favourite so take my review with a grain of salt. 

A little rapey but no where near as much as typical for this genre. I liked the guys and how communicative they r with each other and her. She is very traumatized by her past, and I really want them to kill the government leader guy and her whole family. 

Mild spoiler:
what is wrong with Dave in the end of the book, my theory is they have like brain washed him somehow, maybe thats what they did to the “good-guy” politicians? I just don’t think he’d say something like that to Clem, and then just take Josie to that room.
