I seriously did not think that Kennedy could top the love I have for Long Shot, but Hook Shot…might be my new #1 for this fantastic trilogy! I absolutely adored Kenan—that is a MAN, honey! I loved Lotus and how she didn't compromise her desires and beliefs for any person or anything. The other characters being messy and bringing the drama and Kenan and Lotus getting their licks in? Yeah, loved that!
I did have some issues with how Lotus is written. It got extremely manic pixie dreamgirl-sans-mania-esque at certain points, but I've accepted that this is something I dislike about how all the FMCs in this series are written, and that it's extremely personal to me lol.
If you don't read any other book in this series, pick up this one! As always, Ryan is the true queen of slowburn and longing and MMCs who work hard to deserve the FMCs. I also enjoyed the way voodoo is written about here, and how MiMi showed up whenever she was needed.
If you've survived childhood SA, please make sure you care for yourself while reading.
