This book filled my heart and soul. I loved it. Penelope formed a perfect storyline with twists, turns, secrets and truths ultimately showing the perfections in every character whilst also highlighting the flaws and the importance of reflection. I adored Mishaâs character (both sides of him) he was beautifully portrayed as a strong willed person with a heart of gold that just happened to be filled with sadness and anger, and Ryen, as much as she irritated me and made me hate her, I fell in love with the true side of her and how sheâs perfectly human. I hate reading books where the characters are so unbelievably fictional that I canât relate to them, Ryen reminded me of people I know, people I knew, and in some ways myself. All aspects of this book filled me with emotion (every single emotion possible) and I was so grateful to myself for deciding to pick this book up, and in awe with Penelope for managing to write such a tragically beautiful thing.

This was a guilty pleasure book for me. HANDWRITTEN NOTES. STOP. MY HEART.
Beyond that, I enjoyed the story and I feel like it was relatable to readers. Traumatic events can definitely change people and knock them out of their routine.
The high point of this story is finding and accepting yourself. I wouldn't call this a dark romance, even though it is marketed as such.
Now, my unexpected plot twists, MY LOVES FROM THE DEVIL'S NIGHT SERIES ARE HERE!!!!

Read from start to finish in less than 24 hours. It kept my attention and continued to build tension throughout. In both areas of the plot and sexual tension between the main characters. The only thing I wish was better was a less expecting ending.
If you like angst, smut, enemies (sort of) to lovers and when bullies get what they deserve..then you will love it.
