Well done for the token character to fill your diversity quota. IN WHAT WORLD IS CAYENNE PEPPER SPICY? (okay unless you are used to eating spicy food of course you will find it slightly spicy but Rowan Declan was sweating buckets), but only real ones know you cook with scotch bonnet for that HEAT. There was another scene where Rowan Declan visited her family and they made him eat spicy chicken made with cayenne pepper. Where is the flavor in the smut? the tension? the slow burn? the gradual build-up of indifference to wanting to die for them? sorry, but Rowan Declan was gone for Iris in CHAPTER TWO.Īnd what was the point of making Iris black if we saw nothing about her heritage and culture? it's not even confirmed she is from Senegal, the only thing that was mentioned was her grandma having Senegalese twists (hairstyle), and I & Hala came to the most logical assumption □ I'm sorry y'all but this is a very basic and generic marriage of convenience book. My 2 stars are for the conflict (best part), honeymoon, and CAL □ but other than that I felt more reading my biology textbook at school than this. ✔️ the hero does a grand gesture to win the heroine back ✔️ generic smut that should've been fade to black, because i would rather imagine the sex than read about a chemistry-less couple, it's just a waste of time □□ ✔️ secretly obsessed hero from chapter 1 disguised in a 'slow burn' book Recipe for a book that is guaranteed to go viral on booktok: This is what a book written purely for tiktok looks like. I think it's safe to say that Lauren Asher's writing just isn't for me. Needless to say but I’ll be snorting lines of cyanide because I’m bitter that i’m not living this Iris and Declan lifestyle. and now i wanna go visit all the places mentioned in the book.□ these men are from chicago and they fucking act like it. she did the fucking homework and the extra credit! □□Īlso any book that takes place in chicago is already a win for me. Lauren asher brings groveling to a whole other level and with out spoiling it, all i’m saying is i’ve never read the trope as good as it was in this book. it’s always the funny ones that get the best story in a series □ i just know lauren is saving the best for last with him. the way he slammed the door in declan’s face…yeh that’s true friendship right there. □Īlso the friendship between iris and cal?!? i’m already in love with this man and his book isn’t even out yet. like are we just gonna forget that shower scene? come on. i mean he is fucking DOWN INTO THE FUCKING GROUND, BURIED 6 FEET DEEP DOWN BAD for her. and when i’m telling y’all he is down BAD for her. i do love reading about a possessive man. This declan motherfucker can fucking get it. she’s an inspiration and i only wish i could at least be half as good as she is. not to get all emotional and shit but she’s literally my new favorite comforter character and i saw a lot of myself in her. this plant loving queen was so fucking funny, smart, and over all a well rounded character. this quickly became one of those books in which i’m head over heals for the girl more than the guy. Iris, our main girl, deserves the world and nothing less. there were times i was so red in the face, I almost missed took myself for being caucasian /j…kinda □ i was giggled, cackling, and straight up throwing my neck back at what i was reading on these pages. (i’m watching too much euphoria y’all) □□♀️ i’ve had a lot of weird things enter my body but nothing gave me the amount of ecstasy that this book did. □Įvery page, every scene, every fucking word was a banger. that’s how fucking-too good to be true- type amazing this book was. constantly swinging my scooter on the sides of my ankles. lighting a cigarette next to my dad’s oxygen tank. This book had me dragging my inner eyelids on the concrete. STOP because if there’s something lauren asher knows how to write it’s grumpy boy X sunshine girl!! □
