Alright, my lovelies! I need a recommendation for for a book that brings the angst. I'm looking for relationship angst specifically, not past abuse or tragic circumstances kinda stuff necessarily. I don't have a problem with cheating as long as there's an appropriate beatdown/grovel.

I just read Appointed by Fate by Skye McNeil ... I personally didn't like it but the main character has intimate relationships with the 3 main male characters in the book. It's kind of a slow-burn courtroom drama I guess.

And there is a book I loved which I've been told by others is too angsty....Must Love Otters. Or maybe Neurotica by the same author.
Black Swan Affair, Written in the Scars, and this last one doesn't release for another week, but it is AMAZING! > Corrode

Thanks, Ian

I think I have Written in the Scars downloaded via KU. I'll check out Corrode. I accidentally read spoilers for Black Swan Affair when it first came out, unfoftunately😑
Eta: Corrode sounds like exactly what I'm looking for.

Ha! I think I'm in the mood for the full throttle Turkish stuff (as is the case with my coffee selections in general) but any angst level is appreciated right now. I'm still sampling.
I just saw this one just came out: Virgin, by Georgia Le Carre. It's KU. Not many reviews yet. Spin off. Can be standalone.
Drive by Kate Stewart and Faith Andrews Garden of Goodbyes
i 2nd Drive by Kate Stewart and a 3 book series thats super angsty is by Katherine Owens...This Much is True is the first one.

I love me some angst but at the end of 3 books, I want some happiness, too. They sound great. Thanks for the rec.
