A review by caitlin_b_books
Poison Ivy by Steffanie Holmes

2.0

This book is not for the weak but it's also not super dark seeing as it involves 18 and 19 year olds. It goes from 0 to 100 pretty quickly, but then it calms down for a while until about halfway through the book. It's a RH and kind of reminds me of the F4 boys from Boys Over Flowers, but a lot darker and only 3 boys. Definitely stay away if that does not appeal to you or sound like something that you would be interested in.

This book got old after a while, and seemed to just follow the same old thing in every bully romance that I've tried to read. No one knows how to communicate, and the only way that they do it is my staking claims and bullying the object of their affection.

Fergie was a great FMC at first. She is blind and was not afraid to give people hell if they treated her wrong, but was also afraid to open herself up to friendships because of something that had happened to her. However, in the second half of the book, she became pretty bland and started lacking the personality that she had in the first half of the book. There were also times where Fergie talked about things as if she wasn't actually blind. It threw me off several times.

I also want to note that there is a weird scene that involves both a brother and sister, not with the same person but they are both there, but it almost made me DNF. Fortunately, I got the audiobook ARC, so I just zoned out until it was over.

Everybody just really needs therapy.
