Piggy: A Dark Bully Romance
The Pig: I’m a hopeless romantic, waiting for my hero... hoping he wants a girl no one else does. Too thick, too plain, too much of a spaz. But one night, my bully undressed, and I forgot how to breathe. I thought love felt safe. But his hands bruise, his words cut deep. Now, I’m trapped, wanting to escape, yet dreading if I do.
The Bully: She’s off limits. Too innocent, too dumb. My friend’s little sister. Until that party, when I took what no one else had. But now she follows me around. So sad, desperate, perfect. Other men try to poison her little mind. Steal her from my bed. I won’t let them, though. And if she strays, I’ll chain her to the truth: she’s mine.

Endley Tyler, you’ve done it again!! Holy shit this was something 😮💨😮💨😮💨
She did not come around to play..
RTC in the morning!! If you enjoyed Pretty Ugly Girl, read this asap.
Some more thoughts:
One of my top dark romance reads of 2025! The author is on Wattpad? And it shows because the writing is smutastic. In the very beginning, it feels like a faint echo of Pretty Ugly Girl, but it quickly becomes its own thing.
Sometimes, when you read a beloved author, you can see they are writing similar stories with different focuses or what if they did Y instead of X? I really like seeing this, and I also like it when they decide to write something completely new.
I love this type of hero and heroine that is so unique to Tyler. And maybe it’s because I grew up on Drew Barrymore rom coms, but the secondhand embarrassment I have for the heroine, at least early on in the novel, is just my level of discomfort. It’s meant to show her position in life but what I like about it is that it gives us a little bit of angst, and while the heroine may feel hurt but she is hopeful and keeps fighting. Idk the heroine gets treated so harshly but it’s clear the author loves her characters based on how the story unfolds.
What was similar to Pretty Ugly Girl: a dumb but determined heroine. I loved her! Yes she was dumb but she was honest and true to herself. So I respect her lack of game. She matured through the story by taking steps to work on herself and get a better job, which I also enjoyed about Pretty Ugly Girl. The physical changing of her appearance always makes the hero irrationally jealous and possessive which a sick part of me loves 😂
The hero too was the more popular one in high school and conventionally attractive. The author is really good at making the reader understand why he becomes so obsessed with her. His backstory is well-done. Usually, a hero can have a traumatic past and the reader can tell it is clearly to give an explanation as to how messed up he is. But here I *felt* that shit. I love when authors make me think about how his past showed up in not only his nasty side but also his loving side.
The hero was so kinky and I wish there was MORE. There was one scene in particular that I really hoped he did lose control as he was saving her 🙈
I understood why the hero, despite disparaging her or thinking she is “dumb” or “desperate”, in spite of these opinions, eventually becomes obsessed with her.
Even the OW drama was interesting! And it made so much sense her draw over him at the end, not going to say more except it is clear the hero doesn’t like the OW, but the power she has over him is satisfactorily explained in the end.
Thank you so much for writing this!! Please write more dark romances like this ❤️❤️❤️
Also if you don’t like it, this wasn’t for you. Acknowledge that and move on.

Authors Disclamer:
This is a dark romance. First: My bullies are real bullies. The kind who break you down, and make you like it. If that’s your kind of spice, welcome home. This book is intense, filthy, and full of characters who don’t play by any rules but their own. It’s fast-paced, emotionally brutal, and soaked in heat. There’s no moral high ground here. Just obsession, chaos, and surrender.
Triggers: This book contains heavy themes including noncon and dubcon, body and slut shaming, physical and verbal abuse, drug and alcohol use, kidnapping, bullying, death, grief, and explicit violence.
Tropes: Bully romance, touch-her-and-die, grumpy/sunshine, dark golden retriever, dirty little secret, hopeless bad boy, and virgin heroine.
Spice Level: 5/5
Closing thoughts: She was pretty spot on with letting us readers know the crazy ride we were in for.

4 stars (I’m as surprised as whoever’s reading this lmao)
I was more than slightly intrigued when I read the title and saw the cover, but one of the my friends on here who gives great dark romance recs said this was really well done, and it was. I don’t think this is going to be for everyone, as it’s got heavy humiliation and bully themes, but it also has a GREAT possessive MMC. That’s my number one criteria for a dark romance 🥰
I also really enjoyed how the author let the reader into the MMC’s and FMC’s headspace(s). I liked how she showed both of their insecurities towards themselves and their relationship.
Warning that there is big other woman drama, but the MMC isn’t into her at all. It also is a big part of the story. She gets her just desserts by the end (in the most insane way possible, bordering on dark comedy really).
I’m glad that I tried this author again as I wasn’t a super big fan of her MMC in her book Pretty Ugly Girl, who is pretty abhorrent in terms of dark romance MMCs.
Looks like they have a Wattpad and Inkitt where they try different stories out with their readers. It’s always good to see an author who is willing to take feedback from their audience.

Really enjoyed this good girl / bad boy story. The character development was excellent, with Charlotte coming into her own from an extremely sweet and naive young and sheltered girl to much stronger and more confident though still sweet and tenacious. Rowen Grayson was the bad boy who felt he didn't deserve the good girl of his friend. He had a dark and intriguing past.
Lots of other woman drama, which I liked, especially since Grayson was so into Charlotte. Great jealousy: Grayson was so possessive of Charlotte.
The story was a little twisty, turny, almost as if it didn't know where it wanted to go. Multiple climatic scenes with the expectation of denouement, but nope, there's still more. Even so, I still really liked it.
Great pace and very steamy as is this author's style. Loved the scene with Grayson tied up. Also, I loved the characters. Great diversity and mix.
It's lightly dark because of Grayson's darkness and background as well as surrounding bad people characters, but also sweet. An entertaining read.

August 14, 2025This is my second Endley Tyler book and it’s ending up with no stars because I still don’t know how to rate this book. It’s very hard to read a book when the men are so misogynistic and sexist, and the women are literal doormats but when they decide to do something, it’s the most stupid thing one could do. The overall book is very cringe, the FMC dialogue, the MMC dialogue, inner monologues etc.
Yet I still sit here and read half the book and skimmed the rest🤦♀️
The only character I liked was Atticus and he’s deserves the world (that does not include Charlotte and Brax as his siblings).
Also, she found out he raped a girl and then proceed on the same day to tell him she loved him???! Girl wtf

When “Dark Romance” Becomes the Romanticization of Abuse
I had to pause before writing this review, because the problem with this book is not just weak storytelling, it is the normalization of cruelty and psychological self-destruction under the label of romance.
The female protagonist, Charlotte, is one of the most troubling heroines I have encountered in recent fiction. She is written as a woman who repeatedly accepts humiliation, violence, and exploitation and the narrative frames this as devotion rather than dysfunction.
Characterization: A Heroine Without Self-Preservation
Charlotte’s behavior throughout the book defies basic psychological realism. She remains emotionally attached to Greyson despite:
Being publicly mocked and body-shamed
Being spat on
Knowing he raped another woman (Meghan)
Watching him fail to protect her when she is nearly gang-raped
At no point does the narrative allow Charlotte genuine anger, fear, or self-preservation. Instead, her response to danger is apology, loyalty, and emotional submission. This is not resilience, it is erasure of agency, and it is written without consequence or critique.
The Male Lead: Dark Hero or Excuse for Violence?
Greyson is marketed as a “dark grey hero,” but he lacks the moral ambiguity that makes such characters compelling. His cruelty is not paired with accountability, growth, or internal conflict. He is described as a sadist who gains sexual pleasure from hurting women, and his trauma is used as a justification rather than an explanation.
His hatred toward women, his exploitation of Meghan for money and filmed sexual violence with her, and his complete emotional irresponsibility are never meaningfully challenged by the narrative. The story insists he does not change yet still demands the reader accept him as a pathetic lead.
This is not darkness.
This is unexamined misogyny presented as erotic complexity.
Handling of Sexual Violence: Careless and Disturbing
One of the most serious flaws of this book is how it handles sexual violence each time. Charlotte nearly being gang-raped should have been a turning point, psychologically and narratively. Instead, the event is brushed aside, not one but each time whenever she got attacked by greyson or any other men. She recovers with unrealistic speed, shows little trauma response, and immediately redirects her emotional energy toward pleasing Greyson.
Later scenes or chapter involving kidnapping, forced bodily control, staged sexual humiliation, and coercion are framed as punishment or passion rather than abuse. Consent becomes meaningless, and the narrative offers no ethical reflection on what it portrays.
Romance Without Transformation
The author claims that Greyson never changes, but that he loves Charlotte. This is a contradiction the book never resolves. Love without respect, safety, or accountability is not love, it is possession and dirtiest thing ever.
Charlotte’s attraction to Greyson remains intact regardless of betrayal, abandonment, or cruelty and his nasty sadistic behaviour and past incidents. This creates a relationship dynamic where endurance replaces intimacy and suffering replaces connection.
Final Thoughts
This book does not explore dark romance, it endorses emotional and physical abuse while refusing to interrogate its consequences. Both protagonists remain static, trapped in a cycle of violence and submission that the narrative rewards rather than condemns.
Instead of tragic depth, the story delivers toxic repetition. Instead of growth, it offers obsession. Instead of romance, it sells despair as devotion.
Readers deserve better than being asked to confuse endurance with love.
Rating: 1⭐

Did I like the way this was written? No
Spice? I mean it was there
There were some lines where I thought this wasn’t so bad…
There was just a lot going on, but it was okay overall.

NOTE: THE FIRST HALF OF THIS REVIEW IS NOT INCLUDING THE NONSENSE THAT OCCURS IN THE LAST 100 PAGES.
I want to start off by saying, for a book that was intended to be a bully romance, there wasn't THAT MUCH bullying. He kept calling her Piggy, which...is a stupid nickname, tbh. Had he called me Piggy, I would have quietly poisoned Grayson's pre-workout smoothie. I don't know if he drinks those, he just seems like the type.
I liked some of the romance between Charlotte and Grayson, and even found some of it to be endearing and sweet. However, I was not very fond of Charlotte's personality. The author establishes that she is 21 years old, but she constantly behaves, and is treated like, she is a 14 year old. She was TOO excited to see Grayson and constantly fawning over him. She was also somewhat helpless and naive. This was probably on purpose, I just wished she had grown less so.
I would have like to see stolen quiet glances and longer instances of pining (the book was 400 pages, the author could have easily added this). Perhaps, they could have gone on a date/picnic/something outside of bedroom action.
I will admit, I did like Grayson AT TIMES. For being an obsessed bully, he was very open about his feelings for Charlotte. He wasn't TOO possessive. He was jealous for the right reasons and at appropriate times. I DID NOT like that he was still in communication and interacting with the woman he sexually assaulted (and the reason why he was in prison). That was weird. I will get more into this in the second half.
The plot was intriguing in a way. There were some interesting moments and good sprinkles of drama amongst all of the spice. I would have liked more time spent on showing the sibling relationship between Charlotte and Atticus, but this is a bully romance, not a family drama. I will emphasize that I thought the not-brother that Charlotte picked up from prison would be a more prominent character as it could have added an intriguing inner turmoil for Grayson. Could he shake off his past (not-brother guy), redeem himself, and look to the future (with Charlotte)?
The time jumps were fine, I guess. The adult entertainment industry is heavily featured as a career option. I wondered at times if OnlyFans paid for the shoutouts. However, in this hustle economy, a source of income is a source of income.
The book was a somewhat nice little dark romance...until the last 100 pages of the book.
SECOND PART:
The entire book starts to unravel when Grayson is sent to prison. After some basic attempts to fight to free Grayson, Charlotte discovers that he was a convicted rapist. She is surprised by this, which is a little weird, considering this was already revealed earlier in the book. Apparently, she didn't think he was serious. She also discovers that he hates women because of his mother. Classic. Now she is afraid and disgusted by him.
Charlotte visits him in prison. They get into a argument and she says she hates him and they break up. A time jump later mysterious masked figures break into Charlotte's home and she is kidnapped. She wakes up in a room and is chained up. Surprise, surprise Grayson is the kidnapper. He's gone "crazy" without her. Can't live without her, so he decides to force her to be with him.
As part of her punishment for disrespecting him or whatever, he forces her to get a Brazilian wax and tattoos his name on her legs. True love? He also makes her believe that she is being recorded for adult entertainment, while forcing her to sleep with him. Guess who is helping him out? Meghan, the woman who sent him to prison. Apparently, she's super crazy and loves Grayson for some reason. However, yada yada yada, she tries to kill Charlotte and fails. I don't recall if Meghan dies. Sorry.
I honestly thought this part was some sort of elaborate ruse. It's not. It's real (in the context of the book). I also don't remember the ending of the book, because I was so flabbergasted by the outrageous, out of left field twist. It felt like the author needed to pad out the book and tacked on a reworked rough draft of a fanfiction.
Here's how I would have written the last 100 pages (it will be full of cliches, but IDGAF)
1- Charlotte and Grayson have a little kerfuffle in the visitation room. She leaves and tries to build back her life.
2- Not-brother begins to show up and intimidate Charlotte at her place of employment.
3- Grayson and Charlotte's incarcerated brother (not Atticus) get wind of this from one of their sources on the outside, so they stage a prison break. While they are doing this, Charlotte is abducted and held hostage by not-brother
4- Not-brother teases her and monologues or whatever. Then he makes the mistake of calling her Piggy. This triggers her and she screams "no one calls me Piggy!" and hits him with a blunt object.
5- When Grayson and incarcerated brother reach her, not-brother is already defeated (maybe dead) and they are impressed that Charlotte had it in her to fight and almost kill someone.
6- Everyone goes to therapy.
Honestly, I enjoyed reading this book. It was kinda fun and quick. I wanted to rate it 2.5, but Goodreads doesn't allow that.

I have no words. I stumbled upon this book and I’m so glad I did. I love a good bully romance and this was bully on a whole new level. Charlotte is a sweet innocent and naive girl that just wants to be included. Greyson her brother’s friend he’s her bully. She has a crush on him and feeling is mutual but obsession. The ride Greyson took me and Charlotte on was wild, toxic, unstable, unhealthy and I loved it. Once he got a taste of her there was no going back and she gladly gave it up. The way he treated her at times was horrible and she knew it but she liked it. Greyson was a different kind of crazy. I was not prepared for what I read. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. The amount of times I was looking at my kindle like wtf was endless. This a dark book so check those triggers for sure. It is a HEA but baby we went through it to get to it.

How it doesn’t have to be a “sick” thing between consenting adults. It kept me engaged even when I didn’t like what he was doing. I still kept going because I wanted that HEA but also wanted to understand and it all came together.

First off this author is truly one of the best on wattpad from my 8 years being on wattpad!! I’ve read most of the books they’ve published on wattpad but they’re truly one of a kind. Piggy’ was nothing short of that and it’s so good how this author is getting recognized outside of wattpad. If you like suspense, dark romance, and one a kind books this author is for you!! I 100% recommend piggy to anyone who looks a true dark romance book!

Another bully romance I absolutely devoured I loved this book so much and I can’t wait to see more. Also Grayson 😩😩😩😩😩
February 1, 2026
Read this after Pretty Ugly Girl, hoping it would be better. Big nope. The storyline was all over the place and didn’t make sense most of the time. I don’t hate the author’s way of writing, so there’s that.

Finally another bully from this author brilliant n' STEAMY!!!!!!!!
December 1, 2025
Made it 29% and had to DNF it🤦🏽♀️ The characters are so fucking annoying.
Charlotte is just all the way goofy, and the way she CONSTANTLY lets him put her down and humiliates her in front of people even after she tells him she doesn’t like that. That should be an immediate turn off for someone. Why would you want a man like this? Okay, if you like it in the bedroom then by all means do you, but around people? It’s not sexy at all. It just shows how little you love and respect yourself.
I can’t continue reading about her hating her body, and relying on MEN to try to convince her she’s beautiful. It’s pathetic and annoying. Stand up girl. Please. The last thing she needs is a damn boyfriend, girl start your self love journey and stop waiting on men to tell you are beautiful.
She’s a complete doormat who acts like a child.
The MMC is a loser. He’s unlikable asf, I don’t like the way he speaks to her at all, it’s a major turn off, and makes me want to kick him down a flight of steps. I didn’t find him attractive or cute. Just immature and a bitch.
Both MCs are extremely unlikable. The writing didn’t hit for me either. I really tried to read more but god it’s so frustrating. The only one I don’t dislike is Atticus, I didn’t see him much but we cool lol.

This was indeed a read that provoked many feelings in me, mostly contradictory ones. The book truly captivated me with the drama and toxicity of the main couple, but I decided to abandon it halfway through. Even with many positive points, I believe this wasn’t a pleasurable read for me. To be clear, I don’t think the story is bad, and I appreciate the author’s effort in creating a story with a real plot beyond hot and kinky sex. But I had issues with the juvenile tone of both the hero and heroine and their difficulties in maintaining a minimally stable relationship, even for a toxic couple.
The hero has a personality in the story and an addictive portrayal of a jealous and possessive man, but I won’t deny that I was disappointed by the character’s darkness. It’s not like he’s a good and decent man to have a relationship with, especially since he’s one of the heroine’s bullying princes. But he’s not a dark character or even close to being a villain in any story. He’s just an insecure, perverted man, lacking affection, immature, and tolerant of horrible people for his own comfort and benefit. I confess that even his jealousy was too cliché for what I expected from an obsessed man. The scenes were the classic monologues about how much he disliked seeing men looking at or touching her, with a touch of gratuitous evidence of him breaking things to show his anger. I expected more drastic attitudes from him when dealing with men interested in the heroine, but ironically, I found the heroine’s brother’s jealousy scenes much more interesting and even unexpected due to their dark and threatening tone.
The heroine wasn’t a bad character either, even though she’s the classic naive, insecure, and sweet female protagonist. I appreciate that the author seriously embraced the heroine’s personality in the plot and the consequences that arise from her naivety, such as getting into a clearly toxic relationship and even being dragged into situations where she’s in serious danger. Even though I’m bothered by the lack of impact the attempted rape has on the character herself due to the constant shifting of events in the story, I found it somewhat discouraging. The author clearly wanted to make a quick story here, which is a shame because I feel like if she had increased it to at least 400 pages, she would have had a much deeper and more compelling story. There was definitely potential for something dramatic and addictive here.
But what definitely made me abandon it was how the plots were addressed. Everything is very fast-paced and dramatic, but also engaging for those who enjoy good toxicity with an active plot. However, I don’t like how the couple’s relationship develops, even though I appreciate that the romance’s dysfunctionality is evident in the story. As far as I’ve gone, the novel is divided into two parts. The first builds on the hero’s supposed obsession with the heroine and their dirty, hidden relationship. And the second, a new beginning after they reunite. My biggest problem is that I never felt the impact of each phase of their relationship, especially the obsession.
The hero is indeed intense and possessive, but his obsession never makes him act outside his comfort zone with the heroine. He has sex with her, but never crosses the line into defying her brother, even when he already assumes he’s in his obsessive phase. He stops sleeping with other women and making pornography, but he still abandoned her indefinitely to enter the porn industry and save his own criminal ass. The heroine goes through many difficulties when he leaves and almost becomes an alcoholic, but he didn’t seem to even have a clue about what her life was like for a whole year. These are small details that really made me lose the will to finish the book.
But perhaps the greatest irony of this obsessive and toxic romance is that the heroine is the one most obsessed with the hero, and he knows it very well.
Note to anyone who wants to read: It’s not a bad book if you want to read a dark, engaging, and toxic romance, but many things are softer than promised, including the hero’s level of darkness. I’d say he’s the classic degenerate hero in love who’s insecure and won’t admit his feelings because he’s afraid of how much it could change his life.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5)
Piggy – Endley Tyler
Dark Bully Romance • Obsession • “what did I just read?” energy
Let’s get this out of the way first
The beginning was… not it.
The writing and editing felt off, almost like I was reading texts instead of a book. Very Wattpad-origin vibes. At times it genuinely felt like brainrot, and it took effort to push through those first chapters. I didn’t hate the story — I hated how it was written at the start.
And the FMC?
I struggled. A lot.
She was too submissive, too easily humiliated, and honestly… too dumb for my taste. Yes, I understand this is BDSM. Yes, I understand it’s dark romance. But my feminist instincts were screaming every time she let herself be degraded without a single thought in her head 🥀
That said… I didn’t DNF.
Because the MMC is absolutely unhinged — and I mean that as a compliment.⛓️
Possessive? ✔️
Jealous? ✔️
Obsessive? ✔️
Protective but in a scary way? ✔️
Mentally unstable in the most dark-romance-coded way? ✔️✔️✔️
There were moments where I was genuinely scared. Not “oh this is dramatic” scared — but what if this ends badly scared. Especially when he said:
~“If you don’t let me go right fucking now, I will kill you.”~
I froze 🧍♀️
That line shook me because this book was a new experience for me, and for a second I genuinely thought this could turn into a tragic ending. Not “I’ll kill the guy who touched her” — no. He threatened her. And suddenly I realised: this story isn’t playing safe.
And yet… somehow… I still enjoyed it.
Especially this moment:
~“Who did she sit with? Was it a guy? Some grinning NPC who lent her a pen and thinks he earned more of her attention. Is she into girls now? Maybe she’s making friends. Ones that’ll convince her she deserves better than a guy like me.”~
I fear this set my standards 🚩
The jealousy. The anxiety. The spiralling thoughts. The fear of losing her. The obsessive inner monologue that screams I care too much and it’s killing me. That was chef’s kiss dark romance chaos. Toxic? Yes. Entertaining? Absolutely.
The ending, though… rushed.
After all the madness — trauma reveals (hello mother issues), power struggles, Meghan and Riser causing pure chaos — we suddenly jump to marriage and kids. I fully expected a breakup, an enemies arc, or at least emotional consequences. Instead: boom, wedding bells and babies.
Cute? Yes
Earned? Questionable.
Final thoughts
Piggy is messy. Flawed. Sometimes uncomfortable. Sometimes poorly edited. But it’s also bold, unapologetically dark, and weirdly addictive once it gets going.
It scared me.
It annoyed me.
It made me question my morals.
And somehow… I still liked it.
Read the trigger warnings. Lower your expectations for polish. Brace yourself emotionally.
If you survive the chaos, you might just enjoy it too 🥀📖

Will write a review in the morning ….but complicated and stupefied are my current emotions
***its morning***
This book is a ride I’ll say that. Let me start with what I liked. I liked Greyson I know the author intended to write him as a villain and toxic and psycho but to be completely honest I think he was pretty valid. Wanting his girlfriend to text him back , valid. Wanting his girlfriend to tell him what bae she’s drinking at with other dudes, valid. Getting mad when she disappears without telling him she’s getting a ride from another man, also valid!! Was his response sometimes over blown and aggressive, sure - did she also know what she was signing up for , also YES! Like someone girl man is an ex felon with a BDSM kink and you liked it so stop trying to tell me you think he’s toxic. I mean he is but you like it so don’t yuck your own yum. Greyson possessiveness is my favorite part of this book and the only reason I kept reading after page 300.
Now for what I didn’t like. First and foremost , I hate Charlotte - god she’s really annoying and even though she gets marginally better throughout the book and I get that her personality needed to be softer to contrast with Greyson but there is a way to write softer characters without making them so dumb and unrealistic and meek. Also the writing is pretty bad guys , fair warning. Lastly the book the waaaaay too long and had too many plot points that weren’t flushed out enough to really make them impactful. The whole Greyson being a sadist isn’t explained enough especially when he really doesn’t act that way most of the book (IMO) maybe I’ve just read darker MMCs but as far as his behavior with Charlotte he was pretty tame. Also the end plots with megan , the kidnapping and getting out of jail were just so crazy and all over the place this book needed a solid editors pass over but no more so then at the end of the book when the author wanted to wrap up this book but really she just needed to cut this book by 140 pages or so , 400 pages was too dang long.

Pay attention to your triggers
I have read nearly 1k dark romance novels in the past 4-5yrs. Am I an expert? No, but I’m very experienced. As far as the storyline, the potential of it wasn’t maximized, but it was still a good read. There needed to be more world building. The MMC, his past and childhood, the FMC, her past and childhood. There were other characters that aren’t really fleshed out. Additionally, some parts of the story were rushed, and too short. There wasn’t enough in the storyline to really take me on a deep emotional journey that I enjoy.
However, when I envision how the author got to where they are going, it reads more like a passion project. Almost like they had so much in their imagination, so much depth, that their brain and their fingers couldn’t synchronize, and everything didn’t make it onto the pages. That is a beautiful thing, and I would rather read something impassioned than cookie cutter.
As always, read responsibly, and head your triggers. I always pay attention to mine, and I back off or DNF if I my mental health feels like it could be tested. I did discover that I have a boundary that I didn’t realize I had. It turns out that degradation does cross a boundary for me. I could have done with about 50% less. So, just be aware. Please note- My rating has zero to do with triggers or anything I found bothersome.
I still recommend this to the darker dark romance fans.

woah! i just loved this book! there were too many themes in there which would usually make me leave the book in a second but everything in this was so well written i couldn't put it down. this is the kind of book that made me question my sanity but at the end of the day it's fiction and so damn good.
the only thing that kinda irked me was the amount of time I had to read about meghan in this book, and riser?? God I hate them but that's what villains are for.
her autistic brother was also pretty cool, he somehow always sensed when his sister needed him so 10/10 from my side. kyesha and him getting together was sooo wholesome.
I loved that rowen Grayson was unhinged but loyal as f**k. brownie points for that. even though there were so many points which made me think that he'll cheat now knowing that Charlotte would probably forgive him but he didn't. (LITERALLY HAD TO ASK CHATGPT TO TELL ME IF HE'LL EVER CHEAT SO THAT I CAN SHUT THE BOOK BEFORE HE DOES!! BUT HE DIDN'T YAYYYY) towards the end of the book i realised Charlotte wouldn't forgive him at all, she grew so much as a person yet somehow stayed the same for him.
i loved how subtle yet realistically Charlotte matured.
all and all I LOVED THE BOOK!! IT'S A 5 STAR FOR ME.

I gave Piggy: A Dark Bully Romance 3 stars, though honestly, I still don’t fully know how to rate this book.
This was a hard read, and not just because of the darker themes. The men were so misogynistic and sexist, and the women often felt like complete doormats. Then, when the female characters did finally decide to take action, their choices were usually so frustrating that I wanted to scream. A lot of the book felt very cringe to me, from the FMC’s dialogue to the MMC’s dialogue, the inner monologues, and some of the overall drama.
That being said, I still somehow read half of it and skimmed the rest, so clearly something kept me going. Charlotte’s growth from a sweet, naïve, sheltered girl into someone a little stronger and more confident had potential, and Rowen had the whole bad-boy-who-doesn’t-deserve-the-good-girl thing going on, but the execution didn’t fully work for me.
The only character I truly liked was Atticus, and he deserves the world — preferably a world that does not include Charlotte and Brax as his siblings.
This was my first book by Endley Tyler, and while I can see why some readers may enjoy it, I don’t think I’ll be rushing to pick up another one anytime soon.
