Reviews with content warning for Drug use - Damaged Goods

I had a really good time reading this book! It was super addicting and had me invested in the story from the very first chapter.

I found Bailey and Lev’s story to be super intriguing, but also interesting. It was eye-opening to see them admit that their relationship was borderline obsessive, but I liked the way they addressed that. It helped them to make smart choices for the benefit of both of them as the story went along.

I really appreciated Bailey’s character development, as it truly showed how her experiences and addiction shaped her into the person she was meant to become by the end of the novel.

I also found myself tearing up at moments throughout the story

as it was very sad, but also heartwarming. I loved seeing Lev and Bailey’s family’s reactions and their ultimate support to help Bailey get the help and independence she needed to get better.

The spicy scenes throughout the novel were super hot, and I found myself blushing at multiple scenes throughout the book.

Especially the snow scene heheh.

I was in awe that this book is the fourth in the series, and I was amazed that the author has written a book for literally everyone part of Bailey and Lev’s families. She even has the stories of their parents falling in love! I find that incredible and I am definitely interested in picking up another book in this world.

Although some of the writing could be a little cringey at points, I reminded myself that I was reading from the POV of a high school senior and a college freshman. Everything they said and thought seemed very accurate for their ages, so I was able to just giggle and find what they said to be hilarious at times.

Overall, I really enjoyed reading this novel. It touched me, kept me intrigued and rooting for Bailey and Lev the whole time, and I would love to pick up another book in this universe! I rate this book 4/5 stars! 🌟

Someone pass me the vodka...

It was a long and super painful journey. It was a tough read for me and I had to keep reminding myself that this was all because of the drugs and the withdrawals.

Lev's love for her was so beautiful and one thing is for certain these Cole men love hard and they love with their whole being.

It was so great seeing some glimpses of Rosie. I truly loved her.

Loving an addict can be hard. But when it comes to recovery love and support are the most important aspect of recovering.

I will always love these beautiful, wealthy, totally messed-up characters in this fictional town. This book was brutal and heartbreaking and frankly a bit rough to read. I loved it.
