Reviews with content warning for Sexual harassment - Broken Bonds

I was told it was going to be like Haunting Adeline, however it feels like a darker version of the Shatter Me Series. I will probably continue the series although with reading shatter me before hand, it does feel like a reread but with smaller twist. There wasn’t much background information so I kinda felt confused the whole time. The characters were kinda difficult to remember, like it was hard to match personalities with names. Not terrible but could be better.There weren’t really intense parts except for the end.

I went through this book so fast! I enjoyed it a lot. I have some critiques but they are in no way going to keep me from reading the next book. For one the book started without any exposition. I had zero understanding of the bonds, like I understood the concept but I didn’t understand what role that played in the world. This were just explained in too little detail too late in the game. And the guys. There is no singular guy that is on the top of my pyramid, but there sure as hell one at the bottom. There are guys that I like but each had some issue that made me dislike them, beyond their initial dislike of Oli (I understood why they were mad at her). I don’t know how Bree is ever going to make Nox a forgivable character (hopefully she doesn’t) bc the stuff he did is unacceptable and gross. Also this is the first RH book I’ve read (I’ve played plenty of Otomes and seen plenty of Anime) and maybe I just don’t understand the dynamics in this book setting so I have a lot of questions going forward. At least in the books universe it isn’t taboo so we’re not dealing with that.
