Lights Out

4.5 stars

The first few chapters were rough. I wasn't completely into it, but I might be able to blame it on my mood??? Also, I skimmed the internal dialogue here and there. It was just way way too much. Saying all this, my 5 star rating probably doesn't make much sense, but the thing is once I started skimming and there was more dialogue and scenes of them together I enjoyed it sooo much. The last half of the book was so much fun.
I love how funny they were and how Josh is yeah a stalker and wants to watch her at all times but is also so concerned about her safety, makes her snacks, and pretty much from day 1 calls her cat his son. Just... adorable.

There is no third act breakup (yay!) and Aly is a rational character. There were a few “ehhh idk moments” but considering everything else going on, mostly believable. So all in all, the characters felt real.

Again, most of the beginning was interesting but wasn't holding my attention for more than a chapter or two, but once my mood came around and I got into the story I had an absolute blast reading it.
I cannot wait to see what this author writes next.
