This is a love story yes but it’s mostly a story about humanity. How far can we break before there’s nothing left to repair? How much anger can one heart encompass before it burns away into nothing but ash? How long can you live inside yourself before the loneliness eats you alive?
While reading the second half of the book, I kept thinking that this girl must have taken a few classes from the internet guru on how to bring raging alcoholics and their decadent sons out of depression. But before I combust and write something really mean (don't even get me started on another Kellan's book and his dadda's plagiarism 🌚), let's just discuss the whole "revelation" plotline that made exactly zero sense. *sighs deeply in Spanish/English/Russian and even Italian (yes, I'm making progress with my Italian, btw, thanks for not asking)* so, naturally, he wrote the least sad suicide letter in the history of suicide letters, in which he begged challenged a depressed, broke, barely 18-year-old schoolgirl ( Charlotte if you must know) to edit and get his book (about their love story with a sweet HEA) published. Entertaining in the sense that it was predictable, bizarre, embarrassing, comedic, and unrealistic.because it is not a light read. If you have problem reading about depression, suicide this is not for you. fast forward four years later and kellan’s death has brought together two broken souls - charlotte and tate. both are ridden with guilt and self loathing, over the death of their loved ones. Hmm, that’s a no, too. I’m not in college anymore. My days of sharing space with drunken, shady roommates are long gone.❞ Why would Charlotte's boss insist that she visit a gynecologist? 🌚 Reproductive health is important and all, but even if she never made it to an ob-gyn before, it was kinda... her personal issue?
And let's not forget the way I screamed when it was revealed that literally THE BEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN was plagiarised from lil old Kellan. How old was he when he wrote it? Five? A fetus? 🤣🤣 What I liked most about this story though, is that every character no matter how unlikable or repellant was redeemed. They were shown as humans, imperfect and struggling like pretty much all of us. Devious Lies” is the first novel in the “Cruel Crown” series and was released in the year 2019. Emery had this plan to escape from the friend zone. The first step was to sneak into Reed’s room, while the second was to sleep with him. However when the lights were switched on, it was not those familiar blue eyes that she saw. These were dark, angry, and filled with demons. And they belonged to Reed’s much older brother. I need to mention one more thing, so please bear with me. I want to talk about the infamous OB-GYN scene. You all know what I’m talking about. Sometimes, I lay in bed, listening to my own heartbeats thudding against the mattress and willing my heart to stop.I’d come here to die because I wanted everyone from school to see. To scar them the way they’d scarred me, leaving an ugly dent inside them that couldn’t be covered with makeup.❞
I guess that part of this indifference is partly tied to the fact that I ended up not liking the main characters that much, after all, and even if I did, I'd still feel like something was missing. the ob-gyn finger bang scene was so cringy and unnecessary - it was not sexy like the author intended it to be bc i literally cringed so hard and died from second hand embarrassment.. honestly that’s a whole lawsuit right there lmaoo, absolutely not!! 😶 Darling Venomis a story of best friends’ older brother. Of enemies to lovers. To slow burn loves. All and all, it’s a story of family, addiction, redemption, forgiveness, grief and strength. Tissues should be very close when reading this book. The story starts when Charlie (Charlotte) is a teenager and one night she meets Kellan on the roof of their school. Under any other circumstances, they two would not have spoken to each other, but that night they did. And they make a promise. Both of them hold on to that promise for three year, and in the fourth year, Kellan breaks it. Now alone, Charlie is left to deal with the consequences and wonder what happened. One day she meets Kellan’s older brother, Tate, and she begins to find some truths. From my previous readings, I knew that Huntington wrote dark subjects and it wasn’t surprising that this was a dark and heavy book as well. No spoilers, but please adhere to the trigger warnings.don't let these funny scenes let me take away from how good this book actually is. the characters were really well written and I even cared about the side characters lives to the point where I hope Charolette's sister and her love interest get their own book. Imagine my surprise when what I actually felt when Kellan finally jumped off that roof was a cold, cold fury. jonah 🛠️ - did this book really give me not 1, not 2, but 3 perfect heroes??? PARKER YOU ANGEL I BOW DOWN TO THEE. jonah was a MAN. firstly he's a mechanic so i can just imagine his sexy greased-up face, and those hands that i KNOW are godly, secondly, he's a single dad. a girl dad. a dilf to the highest of degrees. need i say more? i will though because he was smitten with leah, a girl he knows is difficult and traumatized, but saw through her facade and loved her for the way she looked after his daughter, & gave a home to her younger sister. i'll just leave these quotes here to describe how much we need to protect this man.
I honestly don’t know how to do this justice. Last year I read Devious Lies and in my review said it was one of my favorite books but than failed to put it at the top of my list. I won’t be making that mistake this year. leah x jonah - second chance love the one where both believe they were in love before until they realize what real love isDid I mention that same brother also dedicated a whole ass book to Charlie before he JUMPED FROM THE ROOF THEY ARE SHARING SALIVA ON I AM-
