The second book from the Cruel Castaways series is here, and it’s ready to turn your world upside-down.
This book was everything I needed in my life. It was the perfect escape and the right book to get me out of my reading slump.
Every time a read a new L J Shen book I say that this is her best work, and every time she writes another one, I am completely blown away by her talent and writing. And this time, she did it again. Once I got my hands on this book, there was no turning around, I was fascinated by the story and I finished the book in only a few hours, only taking a break when it was absolutely necessary.
This book is the perfect example of “when two imperfect make a perfect”. It is a beautiful story, raw and heartbreaking, about two broken and lost characters who found their place together and within each other.
I can’t remember the last time a book made me feel like this, so frustrated with the characters, angry at them, and at the same time so sad for them. For sure it is a book that gives you all kind of feels, leaving you wanting for more at the end.
Arsène Corbin, my beautiful, broken and toxic Chandler from Friends, was a surprise for me. For the better part of the book I only wanted to hit him, hard and with no mercy, but as I learned more about his past and his scars, somehow he grow on me. He is not bad, or the devil reincarnated as he wants to be, he is just a man who know no love. A man who grow up in a broken home, surrounded by toxic and cruel people. He didn’t knew what love was, and because of this
he confused love with obsession.
Winnifred was an absolute angel. I loved her with all my heart, and cried with her and for her when she couldn't do it. She is so pure, innocent and good, beautiful and charismatic with not a mean bone in her body. She was exactly what Arsène needed in his life, even when he was to stubborn to admit it.
I loved her way of being, how she acted and cared for those around her, how she good she was with everyone, even when they didn’t deserve it. How she didn’t let herself be intimidated by the wealth of those surrounding her, and how she showed interest with Arsène passion for astrology.
“????’???? ???????????? ???????????????????? ????????????????????????????????, ????????????è???????? ????????????????????????. ???? ???????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????? ???????????????? ????????????????.”
I absolutely loved seeing these two communicate, they were constant fighting and finding new ways to make the life of the other a complete hell, but at the same time they were constantly challenging one another to change, grow up and become a better person.
Hands down to the amazing and extremely talented L. J. Shen. This queen did it again, she delivered another masterpiece. If you want a book that is gonna give you all the feels, and is filled with the perfect amount of spice, passion and angst, that this book is definitely the one for you!
