Well..

I would recommend listening to this book. Having said that, if you are one to get invested in the MCs, don't be surprised if it takes you on an emotional rollercoaster and makes you want to pull your hair out. Very frustrating throughout, but very good overall. There were multiple times I wanted to stop listening out of frustration, but I liked the story enough to want to reach the end, and I'm glad I did. I liked the characters, narrator, and storyline. I will be looking into listening to more of this author's books for sure!

Narrator is perfection!

Great story full of angst & smut! Melanie Mendez does such an amazing job narrating! That can make or break a book and her voice made it!! Highly recommend!

Tropes/Themes:
-New adult romantic suspense
-Gossip Girl meets Pretty Little Liars
-Follows 3 roommates (and their romances)
-Academia setting (college)

-Age Gap (Zain x Elora & Tate x Ivy)

My ratings of each couples:
Tate x Ivy: 2/5 stars
Zain x Elora: 5/5 stars
Edwin x Cassia: 4/5 stars

I felt like this book tried to do too much all at once, but regardless it was a fun ride. I was initially super intrigued by the first 50% of the book, but lost interest once the secrets and big reveals started rolling out. Elora, Zain, and Edwin were definitely my favorite characters.

TWs for suicide, MVCs, traumatic injuries, hospital setting

Story: 3/5
Audiobook: 4/5

twists & turns - such a fun ride!

three povs, three romances - soo much intrigue! all the girls have secrets they’re hiding, walls they keep up, until the right man comes along. the secrets are addicting and waiting for everything to unravel was so much fun! loved this one

Great character driven story

This was a great audible with excellent well crafted characters. The plot was really great and twisty. It made it very binge able.
Melanie Mendez did a fabulous job narrating.

Triple Heroines POV

Overall Melanie does an okay job with the narration. However it could’ve been 5 stars if the character voices would’ve been more distinct and different. Not a bad story and a very fulfilling HEA.

Wonderful story for all 💕

Wonderful story for three couples with No cliffhangers and some spicy telling 🌶️🌶️

The three main female characters are Ivy, Allora and Cassia and their men are Tate, Damian and Edwin.

There are some twists in this story and this is romance suspense too all with a hea.

I definitely recommend reading this, you will not be disappointed and the audiobook is amazing.

The narrator’s voices do a fabulous job at bringing the characters to life and putting you inside their world

It's giving Pretty Little Liars

It was so fun to listen to a Devney Perry book that wasn't a cowboy or small town romance and she absolutely smashed it! If you liked Pretty Little Liars or Gossip Girl, I think you'd like this as there are a few secrets to uncover while learning about Ivy and her two college roommates (who live in a fancy mansion her fam owns). The audiobook narrator was also good and did a wide variety of voices.

So many characters and narrated perfectly!

This book follows college roommates Ivy, Elora and Cassia. It took me a minute to get all of the characters straight but after that I fell deep into their story. It held all the drama and mystery and the way their lives intertwined was perfection. I loved every juicy detail of this book! Definitely recommend!

Narration was on point for all these characters!

Favorite Devney book

This has been my favorite book so far by Devney. It’s a cross between Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars. Several moving pieces coming together for one storyline.

Enjoyed the narrators as well. I felt like this audiobook flew by!
