🚨 You’ll probably hate me for this one 😭

Okay so.. we have a problem here 🫣
Where I loved Heartless, and liked Flawless for the characters and hated it for the romance. I didn’t liked this not for the romance and definitely not for the characters. I hope you understand me 💀

Don’t get me wrong Beau is one of my favorites but I probably expected more from this book. I hated that (and spoiler alert here) what practically healed him from the PTSD was having sex?? Like what??? (Yeah, I’m really mad about this that’s why I’m throwing this info)

And Bailey? Sorry hun but you’re definitely not my favorite, not even close. Waaaaay too much drama and her personality was practically based on the fact that she was a Virgin, a girl can only take so much sorry.

I also didn’t like that the pace felt pretty fast sometimes, the lack of romance.. everything was pretty much sex and that’s it.

I know so many people loved this book, and please don’t take my review so seriously. You can absolutely read this book and love it where I don’t. I always encourage everyone to not be 100% sold by some review, you should give it a shot if you find the blurb interesting 🫶🏻
