~~morally gray men are hot. sue me.~~

okay, look. yes i know roth and jasmine have a very, very, very toxic relationship BUT! i highkey love it.

roth might be one of the most interesting mmc i've ever read. sure he may be obsessive psychopath but there's still a heart in there. and i want to know more about him. and everyone wants to know what kind of business he is actually in. i think he might dabble in the underworld, but who knows?

this book is so slow, only spanning one month into their marriage. what redeemed it from a lower rating was that they were slowly making progress. but in typical rothjas fashion: one step forward, a thousand back.

They were two broken pieces that somehow felt a little more whole when they were together. They weren’t perfect, nowhere close, but maybe that was as close to perfect as fucked up people like them could be.

truly the best part about this book for me was the flashbacks. you cannot change my mind. they truly loved each other and i still think they do to this day, no matter how much jas tries to deny it.

but apart from the flashback, this book was... meh. like literally nothing, and truly nothing, happened in this book. titled bitter secrets but like what secrets?

guess we'll have to wait for bitter confessions... *sigh*

hot take? i enjoyed this book more than Bitter Heat. i dare you, sue me.
