You should know, I am blunt and brutally honest, though some might call me critical or even pessimistic. I believe the truth needs to be heard, however harsh it may be, or however wonderful it may be.

Yes, it's gay. Don't read if you're against that.

Just another wonderful, amazing, beautifully written, heartwarming, insightful, and a bunch of other adjectives book by Goddess Hedone. You'd be an idiot not to read this book. Creed's emotional growth was perfectly written and so beautiful to witness. It still gets me every time how you manage to write about sensitive and human topics in such an understanding and real way. I literally have no words. Every book is just everything. It's got all the emotions, the difficulties, the trauma, the love, the happiness, the wonder. Everything. There's always something in the book or something about the main character that I feel I can relate to. And it shines a new perspective on the topic every time.

Be warned

Hell, I'd give the author's writing style TEN fucking stars if I could. This is my second time rereading the story and I'm not skimming, at all. Just demonstrates how captivating and beautifully written this story is. I fell in love with Jagger for a third time (not counting the times he's been mentioned in Goddess' other books). So, be warned. Having a one way relationship with Jagger through a screen is pretty tough and you might feel like you're cheating on your partner. (Just kidding of course... sort of) But fuuuck, how is he so freaking amazing??!! 🔥🔥😍🥵 Obviously, there's a lot more to love about this book, but you'll have to read to find out. Trust me, you need to read this. Oh, all the quotes and Rose's foul mouth. So good.

what can i saaay, except... i swear that song will haunt me for the rest of my life

I should've reviewed this book back when it was still fresh in my head, but no matter it hasnt been that long. you know why? cos this goddess here updates like almost everyday and more often than not, multiple times a day. so for those of you who hate waiting ages for the next chapter...... (READ THIS BOOK) in order that is but anyway, goddess hedone has seriously outdone herself with this one. and thats saying something! annabel isnt the typical woman oud read about. there is so much more to her and the author has definitely captured the complexity of humankind with this book. i could easily understand annabel without ever having been in a similar situation. shes not that bitchy woman from the previous book. as i said, theres so much more complexity to it. the character development, plot twists, etc just literally inserts you into that world where you can wander around in annabel's shoes. its absolutely amazing, stunning, breathtaking, and mind blowing. what more can i say? only criticism: there are some typos, as would be expected. but i said typos not grammatical mistakes. these can easily be removed through editing, etc. at first, yeah, when goddess hedone said the next book would be about annabel, i was like ugh seriously? but shes done a wonderful job with this one. and it is most certainly my most favourite book ever. yes, ever. cos aaaahh! its soooooo good!!!!! do you get it? oh, you dont? wait. I've got more: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! ok ok deep breaths. deeeep breaths. calm down. right... eeeee-ahm. well, you see, um, its really... very... uh.... um... (just admit it woman!) i dont have have the words to describe it! seriously. ive done my best. i know for a fact it isnt enough, but you'll find out what i mean when you read it so read the book, you fool! what are you waiting for? go! damn i need amnesia to experience that again though lets hope i havent cursed myself. lol

Where there's a will, there's a way

Although the book has correct grammar, it lacks most of what I else I would look for in a good book. I found the plot predictable since it was pretty obvious what the conflict would be. The conflict should be woven into the story, not so clearly placed. The writing was simplistic, like something a teenager would write, with high school-level vocabulary at most. It also lacked depth because of poor character development, emotional portrayal, dialogues, and overall flow. Still, it was an honest attempt. I think the author can improve by reading more, seeking advice from other writers, and taking a writing class. Even one writing class at the introductory college level would make a significant difference. Continuing to write will not help you improve unless you understand and apply feedback and do these three things mentioned above. If you enjoy writing, try to make it something you're good at. The rewards will be all the sweeter.

Very well-written

The plot is connected to the first book's story line which creates a sense of fulfillment. It's definitely not boring at all, but very interesting and different from the previous book. The character development is spot on and the personalities unique, complex, and captivating, making it easier to imagine. The writer is clearly very talented and the book certainly deserves more reads and reviews. There are some typos, but no major grammar or punctuation mistakes, etc You should read this book, it's everything i could ask for in a book!

Loaded with Sexist stereotypes

I had originally given this book 5 stars, but after reading Elaine's other books, I realised that most of her books portrayed an immature woman who was constantly victimized, treated like a child, but expected men to bow down at her feet. Elaine portrays both men and women as feeble. In every plot, the woman does something to hurt the man, then the man does something worse and begs for forgiveness while the woman acts like the victim the entire time and gives the man a tough time. Men are expected to have infinite patience while the women throw tantrums. Elaine's books are the perfect example of sexist stereotypes and I find it concerning just how popular her books are. It is truly heartbreaking that a woman has written about and promoted such sexist stereotypes. If it were not for this major problem, I'd have given the book 5 stars. In order to fix this, the book will need to go through a major edit because the sexism really is ingrained into every part of the book.
