I'll be the first to admit that this isn't something I would usually pick up but I was reading a negative review on it and decided it sounded like something different that I'd like to try. I checked it out on my kindle and saw that it was free so I figured what the heck.

I literally just finished this book and I'm honestly not sure how I feel about it. It's not exactly a light read, obviously the main two characters both have addictions (Lily is addicted to sex and Lo is addicted to alcohol). Lily and Lo are really fucking problematic, I mean at times I found myself wanting to go straight up to them (Lily in particular) and shake them and scream at them to go to rehab. Lily and Lo have managed to convince themselves that by shutting out the rest of the world they'll be able to get by without hurting anyone. #EPIC FAIL. They both avoid their families like the plague.

"You're too skinny. You whine too much. And you enable an alcoholic." - Ryke (68%)
One of my two favourite characters from this book is probably Ryke. Ryke is a genuinely nice guy who tries (really fucking hard) to help Lo with his addiction throughout the novel. My other favourite would have to be Connor. Connor is such a nice guy like, what the hell? I honestly don't understand how one person could be that nice.

"I've trained myself to self-medicate with sex for so long that stopping seems so unfeasible, like trying to break a high-speed train before it crashes into a cement wall. So I'll crash. I'll splinter and break. But I'll feel damn good going two hundred miles an hour beforehand." - Lily (79%)

I'm not gonna lie it's incredibly depressing to read about two characters who feel like they can't even tell their own families about their addictions.

This is a trilogy but I think it's fine to leave it where I am and pretend like it's a stand-alone.

Side note: Considering one of the two main characters is addicted to sex there really isn't much sex in it. There are never-ending mentions of sex but not really any actual sex scenes.
