Enjoyable to read but very dark. Stockholm Syndrome definitely a thing here.

allisonm009's review

the things lincoln did got too much for me. I simply didn't care for the relationship and honestly I feel like I have read it before and simply didn't care to finish.

I want to start this by saying that the book is good. I really like Monroe’s glow-up, but Lincoln is unhinged. I know he’s supposed to be, but his psychosis is almost too much when it’s in his pov. I also feel like the build up of Monroe falling in love was rushed and doesn’t feel relatable. 

I would recommend this book, but it isn’t high on my book list.

Lincoln. Obsessed and possessed. 

With an all consuming love between Lincoln and Monroe. 

If it were any other book and MMC, I would not have liked this as much as I did. Lincoln being so obsessed from the get go was just insane but I couldn’t stop reading. 

Monroe has had a rough life so far but she is also really driven and dedicated to herself. Always wanting to do better for herself. I love that.

madhattermommy94's review

This was just bad. It felt like the author tried to mix Haunting Adeline and hockey romance and just came out jumbled. The synopsis had me SO excited and then it just fell flat. Half of the text messages were in bubbles the other half were italicized. He came off as a psychopath whereas she came off as a stupid Bambi. I'm going to jolt at the smallest movement and run away but pressure me into going out with you and then tattooing my name on your dick and I'm in love. It just got too ridiculous.
