Don't Read the Last Page - Jordan Bates

This book appealed to me because my husband is a gamer (not a streamer but no one’s perfect) and while I may not write books, I sure love to read them. And I’m so glad I picked this one up, because it was amazing.

I loved watching Ryker and Odette navigate their feelings. They’re both nervous for very real reasons, and everything that unfolds forces them to face those insecurities head-on. Their chemistry builds so naturally, and seeing them grow together was incredibly satisfying.

Ryker’s friendship with Beckett is one of the highlights, Beckett’s commentary is pure gold. And Odette has Jemma, who is the best friend everyone wishes they had: loyal, encouraging, and always in Odette’s corner. The sparks between Beckett and Jemma added a whole extra layer of charm and entertainment to the book.

The story itself was so good, with just the right amount of spice woven in. I also appreciated the representation of anxiety and how honestly it’s portrayed. Life isn’t perfect, and seeing a character work through something that heavy, instead of magically overcoming it, made the book feel real and meaningful. I received this as an ARC and all this reflects my honest opinion.

I hope I'll be all the inspiration you ever need.
