- Hai them tiktok and being dramatic in their reviews๐Ÿšฎ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜คโ€ผ๏ธ I went in thinking something massive was gonna happen cause of the way everyone in the comment section was busy yepping about how this book wretched them Kanti its just 2 addicts that relapse ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ.

And the title nje made me think hori ya we gonna get something heartbreaking like death kanti dololo๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’€.

I didn't like how they were willing to give up their Sobriety for the other person so easily, like I feel like staying clean should be a priority over anything๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ

- Also the hair thing I didn't fully get, I kept thinking later on the significance will be revealed with how frequent they were bringing it up Kanti dololo, I mean I get that they were trying to show hol felix was in Secure neh, mara they brought it up way too much.

- The only thing I enjoyed about this book was felix's delulu and that duo ya hector le miguel๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚, that power bottom, foursome scene is my favourite๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ and felix's daydreams of him and Jake and their 2 children๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚.

- that said, felix really broke my heart yho๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’” Kuri boy was not catching a break from birth nje๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’€, am happy he finally gota family in the end, Cause wow, my boy was proper lonely yho๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’”.

I also felt for CJ. felt like he was the parent instead of a brother. He was constantly worrying for Jake and honestly Is living a mirsable life cause he can't fully relax cause his brother might relapse๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ™„ and he Is gonna be the one to run around trying to make sure little bro Is okay. yho hai Riley is an understanding wife ke sana.

- The book is basically about 2 junkies that decide to break the rules tsa AA and start dating when they shouldn't and then they relapse and try again this sobriety thing while trying to be each others family. Nothing much really happens.

Also, what happened to felix after all those years excluding being sober? Like Jake got clean, fixed his relationship with his family, got friends, and became a fire fighter while felix became a proper ophan and got a dog? like, didn't he have dreams past being alive in 4 years?
The spice is honestly a 1 ๐ŸŒถ, nothing to rave about.
felix Stealing the delivery truck was funny ๐Ÿ˜‚

_ I didn't really feel their love I'm sorry, I felt they were lying to each other, cause tell we Why would you go overdose when you just told the other person you gonna Stay clean and alive for them cause they make you wanna live , and I get they are fighting addiction neh mara my thing is don't be making statements like that cause y'all know chances are you not gonna keep them. 

and all that "I'm gonna fuck you so badly" parts were so much that when they finally did the deed, It was meh...๐Ÿซค, also it's giving I'm so horny๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ

- Jake baking was Cute. Wish We had a bit more Riley- Jake baking interaction.

- That hospital Scene was heartbreaking cause I understood both the brothers.
