She has been through so much in her life that, at times, breaking down seems to be the only option. However, the only thing that keeps her together is her love for a monster.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"color: #252525;\">She never planned to fall for him, but it happened anyway. Still, he doesn&#8217;t return her love, constantly pushing back until she is ready to move on.<\/p><p style=\"color: #252525;\">The first thing I liked about the book was the character descriptions. The monster actually felt like one. The author painted his description in such detail that I could picture him vividly in my mind.\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 16px; background-color: var(--ast-global-color-5);\">Reese is a well-defined character too, and the monster did not overshadow her.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"color: #252525;\">The story was engrossing and kept my attention until the very last page. I recommend this one if monster love is your jam.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Girl Crush (Girl Crush #1) By Rori K.
