Dumb
Determined to win the one she thinks is for her, Paige finds herself making one foolish decision after another. These decisions become detrimental to her and the life she’s worked so hard to maintain. Will she be able to pull herself out of Kyra’s web, or become too entangled and unable to break free?
Paige is a self-proclaimed “lone wolf,” content with being single after a string of bad relationships. With a blooming writing career, great friends, and her perfect home, she thinks she has it all. That is, until her one major crush, a local musician named Kyra, starts showing interest in her romantically. Thinking that she’s finally found “the one,” Paige ignores the constant red flags on her way toward gaining Kyra’s love.

3.75 stars. I hesitate to say I "enjoyed" this book, because I spent most of my reading being completely frustrated with Paige and, most especially, raggedy-ass stud Kyra.
Dumb
is exactly as its title denotes; Paige ignores the red flags in a new relationship as Kyra continues to manipulate her feelings, leading Paige to do the most for someone who doesn't deserve it.
Skyy shows she still has the skills to pay the bills, but I do miss her old characters - Denise, Lena, Cooley, Carmen....

Started slow
I have very complex feelings about this book. I was at first very excited for Skyy's return as an author but a read the first few pages I felt disconnected from the characters. However as chapters passed I found myself thrown into Paige world. I felt like I was feeling her pain and growth with her

Sigh...
The way this book and my anxiety were at odds! Like..
Paige really had me over here hot and annoyed! Yet even as the story unfolds it's very true, we've all been there before at some point in time. I just wish she would've taken the tools from therapy and stood strong. We only see the tip of the iceberg of what happens when you openly ignore red flags. Despite my anxiety I loved how this book shared a story and characters that seemed very relatable. I would have loved to have a part two.

It would have been a 4 if the ending didn’t piss me off. The cycle of stupid just continues. I loved that Paige was nerdy and bisexual. I just wished she had truely turned a page at the end. And if the prologue came full circle at the end with her back at the book release. Also fuck Kyra and every stud like her

I waited a long time and was not disappointed. Everyone has been through toxic relationships and this is as TOXIC as you can get. Its always good to have great friends around though to help you through. Please keep righting skyy. I love your work.

Skyy never disappoints. Paige was super dumb and wanted to love and be loved. Kyra was an unkempt narcissist and she was trash. Just as you thought she wouldn’t get any worse she took it to a new level.
This is the book I never thought I knew right now at this point of my life
