the best boy-obsessed book ever written. hands down.

originally meeting christian and gianna in The Sweetest Oblivion, i was intrigued when she always complained about the dirty fed and how he looked at her with such intensity, even others picked up on it.

“You’re not afraid of me.” We were so close his cheek brushed my tear-streaked one when he rasped, “And, baby, I’m worse than the dark.”

learning that christian literally joined the cosa nostra just because of gianna and how he went to therapy because of how madly obsessed he was with her and believed she could never be his... woah. not even considering the almost 8 years of pain, heartbreak, everything that was separating them. knowing each other for almost 8 years and not being together... part 1 of the book was so heartbreaking from both povs and learning their backstories... *crying*

also the banter in this book? *chefs kiss* the way they both literally insulted each other in the worst way possible and pissed each other off. the lack of boundaries for each other and how they pushed each other's buttons, played games of ignoring and provoking one another... the insults with a mix of lust, hate, and obsession were 10/10, like it truly did something to my brain chemistry.

the ending of this book solidified christiangianna as my parents. and then their family appearance in The Darkest Temptation?? so heartwarming ♡
