Losers: Part I

This was recommended after a social media post that looked interesting. I had just read another RH/WC mafia based one that I loved to death and thought that this looking interesting but, as someone that left HS almost 30 years ago I wasn't sure I'd like it. But the line I read had my move it right to the top of my TBR and get into it and fuck I'm glad I did.

My favorite trope, a sunshine character. The absolute sunshineist sunshine character is Vincent. I loved him but now I love all of them. The town is so... 1990s? Like I remember how it was when being a non-straight kid felt at that time, it triggered some pretty nasty feelings as I read it and while maybe cliche I fell into it.

Sometimes I want to just be able to hate a bunch of show more ignorant fuckheads and man this book gives me that and some nice smutty scenes and a little bit of character development.

I really enjoyed this, I immediately bought the second. show less

Holy fuck. I did not think that a dark romance could make me laugh and smile as much as this book has. I was eating this up!

For some reason I didn’t read the prequel first?? Anyway I really loved this! Honestly I wasn’t really feeling everyone together until the very end. I still think Jess is super boring and I still get some of her menz confused but I love the story!

There was the person I was before I read this book and the person I am after reading it. This book re-calibrated my brain and I mean that in a good way. I had no idea where the story was going to go after reading the novella "The Dare" but I didn't think it would go like this. It was an interesting read and I learned some things about myself lol. I will be reading the next book. I am very curious to see how all this concludes.

DNFed after reading this:
"I wasn't built for it anyway; I was just a skinny stoner with a fried egg for a brain."
If the author cannot write about insecurities without insulting her own MFC then I'm out.
Not giving any stars because I feel it wiuld br unfair. This book has a giant list of trigger warnings and it's not necessarily bad because it obviously hit one of mine.

4.25 ⭐️ but rounded up to 5 ⭐️ because I love anything Harley writes:) Such a good message about choosing to be who you truly are, while also getting lotssss of romance! 6
