Devil Side by Lacey Dailey
5.0

I don’t even know where to begin with this review. I’ve read books by Lacey before, but I don’t read blurbs, so I had no idea what to expect when I started this book and I was in for one wild, emotional, beautiful ride that I never wanted to end.

Gigi, or as Max likes to call her Gia, is unhappy with her life, she isn’t doing what she loves, but what her father deems is best for her, including an engagement to a man she doesn’t love. When Maxwell walks into her life and gives her the opportunity to take her life into her own hands and discover what she wants and do something for herself. Max is a mystery that Gia wants to solve. There is chemistry between these two and the more time they spend on the road the closer the become, minus Max’s secret.

I LOVED the friendship that Max and Gia formed at the start, everything felt so easy going and natural between them. They were each other’s support system. Watching the friendship bloom into something more of the course of the story was truly beautiful. There is just something about these two that will stick with you long after finishing the book. Random side note, I LOVED LOVED LOVED the bromance between Max and Renzo so much. It was instant between the two of them. I couldn’t get enough of them.

This story was unexpected. It took turns I didn’t expect and it made me insanely emotional. Devil Side is truly beautiful and something that we all have, though it may not always show. Max’s past made me want to jump in and hug him and Gia’s support of all sides of Max and his career is everything.

Devil Side is a MUST READ and it is one of my TOP BOOKS of 2020.
