I love it I love it I love it

One of my favorite reads in a loooooong time. This is excellent.

This is more like it 🤤

I have SO MANY complaints.

Baaaad pacing? 1-dimensional, non-fleshed-out characters?? Dumb words, dumb lines, forced dialogue, and too many moments that just aren’t believable—yes, even for fiction.

Might have to call it quits here.

. . . Okay maybe it’s not so bad 💀

Literally couldn’t hate this more. No tension, no angst, no chemistry.

Bought this one, though, so will prevail

Yeah, gonna feel this one where it hurts, I can already tell.

LOVE the way Jennette writes the hard stuff.

Having more trouble finding the time to listen to a book than I am to sit and read one.

Been two weeks and this one is kicking my ass. Great story, though

Unbelievably delicious

Audiobooks aren’t cutting it. Holding this baby in my hands and LOVING it already

Audiobooks are nothing but voodoo magic because WTF do you mean I’ve been listening for three hours and I’m only 15% of the way through? And I don’t even know what’s going on in the story?? And I’m being interrupted and having to remove my headphones every two minutes???

I mean I’ll finish it but I’m not built for this

Honestly how tf do audiobook people DO THIS? An hour in and I’ve *maybe* retained fifteen whole words. . .

Giving audiobooks a try, let’s goooo

2/3 books finished in this trilogy, and it’s like every page has a slutty little line on it that I MUST text to Kemler. Resisting the urge to blow up her phone with this smut is *maybe* harder than finishing and parting with this series (again) will be. . .

And that’s a wrap on book 1 out of 3.

I didn’t expect a re-read to be my first read of the year, but it felt so right to pick up this book—a favorite, the omnibus gifted to me by one of my favorite people in the world.

It took me only a little over a day to read book 1. These characters, this story, all these memories… I couldn’t feel more at home right now. This is where I’m meant to be.

Clicking that Want to Read button is the equivalent of whispering into the void. TBR so vast we’re running on optimism and hope, y’all

This far into book TWO and all the love interests STILL HATE EACH OTHER 🤤

THIS IS WHAT I LIVE FOR

LOATHERS TO LOVERS, BABYYYY

Jane Washington.

This woman knows how to WRITE.

Charcoal Tears was my first ever JW read, and I claimed it as my favorite book ever for years. So many re-reads, so much inspiration.

If it hadn’t been for my discovery of this author, there’s a chance I wouldn’t have ever become an author myself.

Reading her work now feels like an out-of-body experience.

DON’T DISTRACT ME, I’m busy deluding myself into believing I’m reading this for the first time again 💅🏻

First off, I’m someone who is ALWAYS going to classify stories with 18+ MCs as NEW ADULT, not young adult. The content for new adult can cross different lines without being icky, and this one does so gorgeously.

Love the premise, love the writing—and LOOOOOVE the brothers warring over a girl for wildly different reasons 😈

I don’t always *love* short-sentence writers, but it’s REALLY working for this story and the MMC. . . Author knew what he was doing.

Good ole country boy that gets to the point on most everything, but will dwell on the details of nature and its effect on himself. Love it.

Dorian is a little psycho 😏😏😏

Indie is where it’s at, man.

No limits on creativity 🔥 This story and all its POVs ROCK.

Read 👏 More 👏 Indie 👏

That didn’t take long 💀 I WAS RIGHT
