adventurous dark funny
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
I did not anticipate how much fun I would have reading this book...
And I dont even like the mMCs because of their sexual harassment at the beginning and the amount of misogyny
"Women are nothing but holes and they only deserve to be fu€ked in the a$$"
and slutshaming...like that's neither cute nor sexy(even if the fMC after actually acknowledging their misogyny still is attracted to them)...
Also this book contains the bully trope times ten...
BUT.
The fMC!!! I adore this woman and her inner dialogue is hilarious as everything is from her POV the stark contrast between the terrible things that are happening and then her thoughts are making even her flat jokes funnier.
Her POV is also really fitting her character and seems incredibly authentic. Which of course means it is at some times a little redundant and unperfect, maybe over the top but that's what makes it seem realistic and the character seem approachable.
She was absolutely the reason why I finished this book and will be reading the next one.

(please take a look at the TWs as in not only the summary that only mentions a few)

I liked this book a LOT more than expected. I loved Sadie and her mates and wasn’t ready to let go, but Aran/Arabella was a nice change that was still similar.
