HUH ???

Oh my god.. I— WHAT THE FUCK?! this just made my skin crawl 💀😫

That's an entire new level of bad. 😖

Oh wow, really?! That's just...... no, I can't XP

omg what! 🤣

Haha nooooooooooo!

Sigh* Why candy. WHY. 🙏🙏

Girl why you doing this to yourself? 🤣😂😂

Is it bad I can't even remember that scene? Guess my mind was wandering waaaaay earlier than I thought 🤣🤣 Nice to see you're still making steady progress on this, Candy! Hope it doesn't distract you too much from finals haha

@Nark, I WISH I WAS LYING

@Champ, it's even worse to read it from his pov 🤡 the doctor literally just gave him the news that they won't ever wake up and he's like "omg but how hot is my stepbrother? 🥴" IM DECEASED

@Elena, it's the worst I read from this author and that's saying a LOT

@Elise, and this is the epitome of "they've known each other for years but somehow manage to be in insta love all of a sudden." I didnt even knew it could be done

@Clau... you don't wanna know.

@Rain, my reaction pretty much 💀💀

@Mari, I'm doing it to my own damn self!!! and I've been reading this at a snail pace too 💀

@Camilla, because I'm clearly a masochist? At this point it's the only answer.

Oh wow, maybe I should skip this one completely then.... :O

Omg. I can't. Y mira, que el autor dijo (si no mal recuerdo en su nota al inicio) que el duelo y todo lo demás era algo que ella pasó y es muy serio, para que haga este tipo de cosas 🤡

@Aly, not at all. Consider it a gift I'm currently very envious of 😭 but for real, this book feels denser than my sunday school readings. It's taking me FOREVER to finish and I usually bing-hate-read (let's pretend this is a term) this author's work in like a day. The fact that we always subject ourselves to the same pain when it comes to books tho 🤩 hate that for our mental health.

Thanks for the encouragement with my exams tho 🖤

@Elise, do give it a go if you're curious though! Would *love* to read your thoughts 😙

@Mari, yeaaaa, it felt so wrong 😩 creo que cualquiera que haya pasado por una situacion parecida diría... "what the fuck?!" o incluso quienes no. Es que en serio se paso con los niveles de ridiculez acá presentes 💀

@Candy lol😂 I do that to sometimes🤦🏼‍♀️ sigh haha

@Tanaz, clearly that is a memo most of us real life people missed... but grief is like catnip for all of these fictional fboys and girlies 😀

@Camilla, one day we will learn... or so I hope 😩 good luck with your reads tho!!

Candy, prepárate, que se viene el bodorreo (no tan dramático la vdd, decepción hasta en eso). 😂 Me sentiría mal spoileandote, pero no se merece el respeto🤧

@Candy - My goldfish brain is a prized treasure indeed 😌 I get the feeling of being fueled by dislike to race through a book lightning fast versus wanting to dnf (but never doing so because we are mean to ourselves). LOVE OUR MASOCHISTIC TENDENCIES 😍 We need a year-long break to rest our weary noggins lol. Always, my friend! I'll be cheering you on from far, far away ✺◟(＾∇＾)◞✺

@MarianR - Solo pasé a responder a Candy y terminé desencadenando una bola de malos recuerdos jaja casi me olivdé de esa escena y la grandísima decepción que fue este libro pero noooooo tengamos que rememorar cada momento y sufrir juntas otra vez 🤣🤣

i'm not that religious but i'm gonna go pray for his soul 🥴

I’m literally out of words🤮

Lol wow 😂🙈

New levels of OTT ridiculousness unlocked 🤣🤣🤣
With how much this must be destroying your brain, I hope you have enough grey cells left for your finals Anny!

that's a new low 🤠

@Aly, thank you for the encouragement! Won't prevent me from subjecting myself to further suffering, but I appreciate it nonetheless 😌 gotta say though... even my most disliked reads of the year weren't this objectively bad. This plot couldn't be more convoluted if it tried! More things happened in the first 100 pages than in 99% of the telenovelas I've watched 🥴 several choices were made. None of them good.

Y vos y Marian no estan ayudando con sus comentarios... me da terror continuar 💀

@Dev, please!!! this book needs it 😭

@Julia, I'm not religious either but this guy needs holy water

@Nelly, I wish I could same the same thing about this book 😔

@DL, just when you think you can't be surprised anymore.

@Bacc, this author keeps outdoing herself in this department. She's putting every other OTT book I've read to SHAME! And I've read both Sloane Kennedy and Avril Ashton, so that's quite the feat.

But thank you! Seems more and more unlikely with each page I read though 😩

Gurl you put masochism to ANOTHER level

LAWWD!! Why you be doing this to yourself?? 🤣🤣

@Phuong, SAK could only wish 🥴

@Mariam, don't call me out by stating the absolute truth!! 😠

@Shile, I wish I could answer this. I'm on a path to self destruction, apparently 😅

Bahahah keep going, just when I thought this book couldn’t get worse, it just kept proving me wrong lol 😂 I remember thinking it took FOREVER to get through. I almost DNF’d multiple times especially around the 70-80% mark because 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ all this OTT drama happens. It’s actually amazing I still am interested in reading more from this author 😂😂😂 I can’t wait for your review

And the author thought this was romantic? What has the world come to?

@Megan, your words are not reassuring... at all 😅 I've been stalling with this for the longest time too, despite me binging her previous books (and loathing them for the most part). But I'm right there with you too, there's something about this author's stories that keeps pulling me back—reminds me of being enthralled by watching a trainwreck. You just can't look away!

@Ayanna, even me, who has rated CE Ricci's last two books one star each, did not expect this 💀 I liked her debut, but these plots keep getting more OTT with each installment. Spooky stuff.

@D, these two make Eli and Cal seem like a healthy couple. That says it all 😅

🤣🤣🤣 I hate when that happens, those situations make no sense!

OMG 🤣😂 I’ll be avoiding this one!!!
