📖 BOOK TITLE: FORBIDDEN BONDS 📖AUTHOR: ROSE FRESQUEZ 📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS: #131stBookOf2024 Thank you to Booksirens and Rose Fresquez for granting my request to read this e-ARC and provide my honest opinions. I think the author really wanted to make Fred's and Lucy's relationship feel forbidden enough for us, the readers, to root for them.

Characters are so morally gray that you are unable to root for anyone. I love it 😍 📖RATINGS: 4 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐
