Reviews with content warning for Kidnapping - Broken Bonds

This book reads like one of those reality tv series on mtv; too much cursing, all drama and very little plot, but so entertaining that you keep wanting more.

SLOW burn ENEMIES to lovers (which I think will span the whole series). Check trigger warnings! This was fun and I’m excited for more 🤭😏 Kasi Hollowell did a great job as the audiobook narrator

Broken Bonds! It's the start of this new crazy world, and I loved this first book so much. The first book, and honestly the second one, are my favorite of the series because I loved the school setting. This book is a slow burn and, frankly, a bully romance mixed with enemies to lovers, and I just could not get enough of it. Oli is fantastic, and she went through so much before this book started that we don't even realize it until later in the series when her secrets start to come out. Anyway, this one was a fantastic start to a really good series, and I really want to get a physical set of them.

Joined a local book club and this was our first book club pick. I've heard from a lot of mutuals that this series was good but never heard any specifics about the series. Going in not knowing anything aside from the back of book description was a lot of fun.

Though she's only 19 I easily related and loved Oli and her BFF Sage. We get good world building and I love the way each relationship with each of the bonds is different but also constantly evolving.

I planned to read this slow...so I could attempt to space it out but...it was so good I devoured it. I was at 30% and the next thing I knew it said I was at 89%...at which point you have to finish. Right? haha

I'll definitely be jumping immediately into book 2 😎
