Carnival

by D.M. Thornton

Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
I’ve hated Oliver
Ever since preschool.

I’ve loved her since preschool,
When we played "Ring around the Rosie."
I’ll spend my life searching
For little bird, Piper Posey.

Oliver is a recovering addict,
And Piper’s with another man.
They both left one another
When life got out of hand.

Love is a beacon,
It leads them the way
But will Oliver relapse?
Will Piper come back to stay?

Together, they are toxic,
Apart, they are lost.
Their love is forever,
No matter the cost.

Ahhh so much cuteness and hotness in one book! Who doesn't love a good rockstar romance? I know I do. I loved this book so so much! I would have finished the whole thing in one sitting if my e-reader had not died on me. It died at a stressful part too, I lost sleep over that. Anyway another amazing book by the amazing D.M. Thornton.

Oliver and Piper, there is so much that can be said about them. They were bad for each other and at the same time amazing together. I liked all of the teasing and jokes between them and as a short girl myself I appreciated all of the short jokes. I actually laughed at a couple of them, I won't lie. I don't even care how toxic they could be, they were just so adorable together. It was easy to forget all about everything else when they were together.

I've heard great things about the book and the author, but after reading it, I can say it's not my cup of tea. The plot about teenage romance and second chances is interesting and the banters between the characters is funny and witty. However, the story itself is dragging. Pacing is too slow and I don't think there's a major plot twist. There was no character build-up and the timeline is sometimes messy.

The book is a good rockstar romance read. The characters are good, and they have good chemistry. The story has a lot of cuteness, and hotness in the read.
