“she's our salvation and our ruin, all wrapped into one beautiful soul.“

i normally enjoy dark romance books, and the way that this book was promoted spoke to all the things that i enjoy, but there was just wayyyy too much happening here. 

the plot felt like it was all over the place, the relationships between the characters didn’t appeal to me, and i really didn’t like tori’s inner monologue. at some point, the plot points in the book became very predictable, but they also felt like they didn’t fit at the same time. up until a very specific chapter, none of the guys were okay with sharing her with one another even though that’s what the whole idea was (or so i thought). also, tori felt very immature (especially with her inner monologue and some of her actions), which contributed to how disconnected i felt with her character. there were also a few descriptions and comments made toward a specific character that i didn’t like at all, which contributes to my rating of this book. 

i do enjoy bully romances, and i’m a big dark romance fan, but this one just didn’t do it for me. i also felt like the bullying wasn’t actually bullying and it bordered on genuine abuse. 

this book definitely has potential, it’s just that things were not gone about in a way that i would’ve liked. 

thank you so much to rae for the e-arc!
