no hate to the author btw. Read on at your own risk
This book was genuinely so bad and so cliche and so horrible that I had to wash my eyes with soap after reading this. At this point, I am just questioning every single person who finds this book goods taste in reading bc this just isn't it. 1. this girl has a dad in the mafia and she IS in the mafia and she is such a damsel in distress. She stutters every 5 seconds, acts like a 5-year-old and is so abused but can't stop it??? Girl, you. Are. In. A. Mafia. Act like it. 2. Though she is such a damsel in distress, she can still throw knives like a pro!! Omg!! Who woulda thought!! Well throw one at your dads head, kill him and take over his position then???? This girl did not use her brain even once throughout this book and had people saving her ass every five seconds.
And then Ace. I hate him. Who tf does he think he is. The main character apparently like "changes him" in the end which is the stupidest trope ever. And then the ending??? lol it was funny not sad.
I hated everything about this book which is super disappointing because booktok talks a lot about how its 'their comfort read.' Very disappointed and horrified at what I've just read. Very cringy too just so yall know <3 But then again, its a wattpad book. But I expected 74 million people to have a slightly better reading taste but I guess not.
K anyways, never trusting booktok again.

the grammar and writing was just immature
August 3, 2021
I’m gonna be 100% honest.
The writing was almost terrible but I got used to it in between. Plus Sofia annoyed me so much. I didn’t like her.
The only person I liked was Ace and Jaxon in the end.
I didn’t cry at all - not sure if that makes me a heartless person. But yeah, the feelings should have been written more properly 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ and everything was too quick and rushed at the end.
Plus there were so many cringe and boring scenes in this book.

never again.

This was quite honestly painful to read but it was so fucking funny, some of my favourite and most memorable lines include:
“I responded sadly as I frowned, letting the sadness consume me” AKA THE HELLO DARKNESS MY OLD FRIEND SCENE
“Not a single flaw on his face but he had to go ruin it by being a murderer” how inconsiderate and to think he’d have been so perfect and irresistible too I mean who wouldn’t want to marry ace “I may be a murderer, but I’d never hit a woman” whatever his last name is.
“I don’t hit women” oh boy once again a model citizen
“I wanted to... not die... but disappear” don’t mind me while I go cry
“I hate to see people cry, it disgusts me almost purely because of how weak they are” I can’t even make a joke out of this one it’s already hilarious
“babygirl I’m the definition of destruction” don’t mind me just gonna go change my tinder bio
OH WHO COULD FORGET THE CLASSIC “I didn’t stop hitting the tree”
“I was abused” “I know baby” not me picturing those tiktoks where they roll the cars and are like oh you flinched? He hits you doesn’t he?
there’s so many more but I don’t have four days to type them all out, at least this was kind of entertaining

The writing oh my god 😭😭✋ girl sorry not sorry, go get yourself a literature teacher

I'm giving it 2 because at some point I enjoyed it a bit. But damn as much as I like a good mafia book, this is a nope.
Where do I even start? Teen angst, sweet baby jesus I know they are teenagers (well they are 18 and 19 or whatever) but damn like why? They could have been mature (yeah I read books where they are teenagers but behave so much more mature) and not go through hot and cold in their relationship. Like why bother? Oh and don't get me started on the fact that she gets pregnant and dies. First the pregnancy was like bruh why bother? I mean, really? Isn't there anything else in this wide world that could have been added to the story with more sense? See that's why I like fantasy at least you could come up with imaginary worlds and you wouldn't need to do humane stuff *eye roll* oh and we do get an alternative ending where she doesn't die and they live happily ever after but keep in mind that she is still pregnant uhhh it gave me chills. For me jus tkeep one ending, like let me hate you for the bad ending or killing someone off without and real reason. (yes I'm looking at you Veronica Roth, I still cannot forget the ending and it is one of the reasons I won't reread even if I want to reread because let's not lie, it is a good series)
I feel, these and many more tropes are fillers just to put more words in and drag the book. Let's face it that stunt with Haze, did it add anything to the story? No. I liked the way it showed that they were both abused but it didn't really show how it shaped Sofie? Ace yeah, I could get a feeling but her nuh uh. I could probably add more but I cannot remember them right now. See I DO NOT REMEMBER.
At some point I just wanted it to be over and I'm legit over. I just hope my mind will erase any trace of this book.
One positive thing was Ace, I really liked him. I would cherish a boyfriend like him but damn the shit happened in the book was not worth the hours and energy spent into this book. Oh and I think one of the annoying parts was the ads on the app, I know it is not part of the book but bruh did they take away my joy of living?
My rant is over, thanks for reading.

A lot of people recommended this book to me and honestly, I'm very disappointed. The book was cringe, has a lot of plot holes, was slow paced and has more filler chapters rather than the the relevant ones. The author wasn't very experienced judging by their writing style. There are a lot of grammatical errors, spelling mistakes. A lot of people cried when Sofia died but I didn't even feel sad, I never felt a connection towards the characters because I found them very annoying, Sofia especially. Ace was more like a side character with no importance, whenever there was any mention about his childhood or his past with his evil father, it would always end up being about Sofia and Ace wasn't given much attention and I think it should have since the whole book is basically named after him.
Something I never understood is how Sofia is a soft and fragile girl at times and then suddenly she's a badass who throws knives and sleeps with a guy she met a day ago (yes I'm talking about Hazel-nut.)
Throughout the whole book, the only scene I liked was the one where evil and terrible Kai asks everyone to kill their date. That scene shows a lot about Kai like how he would do anything to keep his son from being happy and how he likes making people miserable. Though there was no mention on why he made Ace marry Sofia in the first place but like I said, there are a lot of plot holes.
Overall, I didn't enjoy the book at all and I have to confess, I might have skipped a few paragraphs here and there because it was boring or cringe. There are a lot of other better and underrated books in Wattpad and I have no idea how 'Ace' got this much reads.

I love this book so much! It was long but it had an amazing plot twist. I may or may not have cried during this. It was the perfect length and only took around 3 days to read which is great.
May 24, 2022
I can't believe I cried reading this.
June 15, 2022
bro… the people who actually liked this (more than a million WTF) are on some really nasty shit. i think they read another book because i can’t seem to find even one tiny little part of it that was actually good. now, i know it’s a wattpad book but there are actually some more than decent books on there so i thought maybe this one was a part of that category seeing as it was truly liked (it’s really high up in the ratings, again, has over a million likes and also is recommended all over booktok??????) but i was MORE than wrong. it was horrible. painfully so.
August 31, 2022
Couldn't get through the first chapter, people need to stop hyping this book up.

The ending made me question my whole existence and I cried = amazing

WILL FOREVER BE MY FAVORITE BOOK ON WATTPAD🫶🏼
January 4, 2023
1.5 stars 🌟
For all intents and purposes, this book deserves an objective 1 star. The writing was absolutely horrible. The amount of typos, spelling errors and just oversimplicity of the writing makes it unenjoyable to read. It soured even the best moments in the book. Also it kept switching from present to past tense 😒
Practically the entire book can be summed up by one quote:
Now onto the characters. Ace was okay but he is so rude to all of his friends who are literally there for him through everything. He takes them completely for granted and it irritated me so much.
So do I Dante, so do I. 😔
Can I just say the smut in this book was PAINFULLY bad. And when you end painfully bad smut with "That was amazing" it makes it TORTUROUSLY bad 🥲
Sophia was even worse than Ace. She is so annoying and such a doormat. She is a cardboard cutout character, her only redeeming qualities being that she is "gorgeous" and "flawless" as well as her knife throwing skills. 🙄 The only time I kind of liked her is when she ordered chicken nuggets from Mcdonalds because I love those.
Also, this entire wattpad was a complete and total cliche but done badly. Ace was trying to be a hot mysterious mafia boss but his personality was all over the place and his anger issues were just random explosions that were really confusing. Everything just felt very scripted.
Now with all these problems in writing and characterisation, why would I give it 1.5 stars instead of a 1? Because the author somehow picked it up near the end and crafted a super emotional ending. I'm not joking when I say my eyes became teary 😖
For some reason, these two quotes stabbed me right in the heart. After 4 years, he's still listening to her voicemail and sending her voice messages.
Anyways, one emotional ending did not excuse the other 95% of the book which is why the rating is still so low. I don't recommend this at all, I only read it because booktok made it sound so good. It's not worth it. 🤷♀️

"Sometimes I wonder why I'm friends with you" Dante said in between breaths.
