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.

 This book exceeded my expectations! I was in the mood for a werewolf/omegaverse book and this book delivered. I loved these four together and I thought Josie's men were so sweet and understanding throughout the entire book. Josie has been through so much in her life that even though she is dropped into any woman's dream, she can't really appreciate it. And throughout the book we learn more and more what she went through and that even her men went through some terrible things.

I can see why some people didn't like this book. I feel like you have to be in the mood for this book to really enjoy it. I mean if you read an omegaverse book then there are just certain cheesy things that come with it. One thing that really bothered me was the amount of apologizing for things that wasn't the person's fault and how insecure Josie was throughout the entire book. At some points her insecurity just got to be a little too much for me.

What to expect:
~ Plus size FMC
~ 3 hot cinnamon roll boyfriends
~ Protective alphahole boyfriend
~ British accent
~ A man who reads romance books
~ A man who knits blankets for his girl

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

You know ....I downloaded this book seeing a small passage on TikTok. I managed to read a 500 some page novel in under 24 hours.

This book at times reads very Wattpad-y and could have used another edit or two for being so repetitive, like we get it Josie has self-esteem issues, but beyond that it's a really solid romance book with a sci-fi/dystopian subplot that kept me glued to my seat.

Onto the next one!
