  Twisted Love by Ana Huang WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD Rating -  4 stars I absolutely loved this book. It is so well written and had a huge twist that I did not expect. I love Ava's character and personality. She seems so sweet, but also so badass. Alex is great, but he mad me very mad at times. He was amazing to Ava and went above and beyond for her. But, the way he basically "owned" her was a little scary. (kind of hot though lol) I truthfully did not expect Ava's dad to be the person who tried to kill her. That was a complete twist. I was so angry at him that he would do that to her just because she wasn't his biological child. I love how Alex handled the situation though, and how Josh got to get a few punches in for his sister. Karma at its finest.  I loved Bridget's character as well. I thought it was so cool how Ava's best friend is a princess. I can't wait to read Twisted Games, which has Bridget as the main character. I think I'm going to love

I did enjoy it, but I definitely don't think it was as heartbreaking as people said. It was sad that Finny died at the end, but it felt predictable.

Sasha and Jamie spent so much alone time together that it seemed obvious that they would develop feelings for each other.  I really loved Finn and Autum's relationship, although I felt like everything happened too slowly. Throughout the whole book, I feel like there was a lot of
