The Monster

3.9

L. J. Shen

"The most important thing I'd ever read was scribbled on the door of a portable restroom, engraved into plastic at a carnival on the outskirts of Boston. Lust lingers, love stays. Lust is impatient, love waits. Lust burns, love warms. Lust destroys, but love? Love kills. Maybe it was always my destiny to fall in love with a monster. When other kids stayed awake at night fearing the pointy-toothed beast hiding in their closet, I longed to see mine. I wanted to feed it, domesticate it, understand it. Sam and I were only allowed to love each other in the dark. Once our story unfolded, and the truth came to light, I was the one to cut the cord. My name is Aisling Fitzpatrick, and I have a confession to make. Sam Brennan is not the only monster in this story."--Back cover

"3 ⭐️ Didn’t like how Brennan treated Aisling and how she allowed him to step all over her. Her story kinda doesn’t make sense and not that strong but it’s ok. Throughout the book I felt how Aisling didn’t know what she wants which i didn’t like. "

"<strong>A game of tug of war</strong><br/><br/>Enemies to lovers of sorts. It’s a darker version of the unrequited love that the younger sister goes through when she’s infatuated with her brother’s best friend. I enjoyed it enough but wasn’t a lover is Aisling’s personality being a door mat for everyone in her life. Sam was arrogant and treated Aisling like a child for the majority of the story. I just didn’t really feel their connection until almost 80% done."
