4 You Little Sh*t Stars
ARC received from M. Robinson for an honest review
"I'm a part of you, baby, and I'm not going anywhere."
If you've read my Complicate Me review, you would know that that one didn't really work out for me and I had to DNF at 34%. Now with the second book, Forbid Me with Jacob and Lily's story, I got past that 34% mark and boy was I relieved. This is my second book from M. Robinson and I enjoyed this way better than I did with Alex and Lucas' story.
I'm writing this review a couple of days after I finished reading because I honestly struggled with some aspects of the book. The constant back and forth of past and present from beginning to end had me a bit exhausted. I loved it the first few chapters, it was enough for me to hold on and get excited. I felt like I needed to stew on what and how I should rate and review this and now that the book is almost releasing, I'm giving this a 4 amidst the issues I had.
Why?
Because Forbid Me left me with that "waiting for the next story already" feeling. Seriously, that ending killed it. That's what got me thinking.
Because the story overall is something I would really eat up in one sitting, and even though Jacob has his moments for me, Lily is the hero in this book. She's feisty, she goes after what she wants, she's determined, and she's mentally older than Jacob even with their 7-year age gap. An age gap which I also love in my books, by the way.
Stars: 4 stars
Recommended to: Readers of forbidden romance, age gap, second-chance stuff.
Series: Second book in The Good Ol' Boys series. Interconnected characters.
POV: First person. Dual POV.
Extra Comment: Lily rocks and that ending wins.
Such a great writer. Can't wait to read this one.
