Let's see what two loners can do together.

Welcome to another episode of Koisty and Lia Read Questionable Stuff 🖤🩶🤍



one star and a half for the effort, but really, this was too messy for me and not even in a funny way.
i spent 90% of my time reading this wondering what the fuck was happening and the remaining 10% questioning my own sanity for thinking the book may be redeemable. spoiler: it wasn't.
the two main characters took one stupid decision after another and their choices made zero sense. the romance was kinda cringey and it could have had its sweet moments, was it not for the lack of chemistry between hawke and aro.
but the plot stole the show entirely in terms of fucked-upness. it was basically just a bunch of kids playing badasses, but the result couldn't have been farther from good.
seriously, if i had a cent for every time i couldn't figure out what was going on, i'd be rich enough to buy a time machine and prevent myself from wasting my time reading this.

the book was a huge disappointment but complaining about it and trying to understand what was going on with koisty was the best thing ever.


[to those who enjoyed this book: please remember this are my own opinions and personal thoughts. with this negative review i'm not bashing the people who like this series and this book in particular, and i'm absolutely not belittling their reading experience. i'm actually happy for you and wish you lots of fun with penelope douglas' future projects.)
