Addicted to You

Product Information

I was immediately interested in Addicted to You because I’ve never read or seen anything about an addiction to sex, which, I assume, is probably something that is becoming more prevalent in today’s day and age. This book isn’t for the faint-hearted as it’s pretty raw with two serious addictions colliding and mixing. When not pouring over entertainment news and the newest releases, she spends her time conducting research in a genetics lab. She’s happy to join forces with her sister, harnessing their twin powers to produce the first in a New Adult series.

The Addicted Series Box Set is filled with 5 sexy and addictive full-length romance novels from New York Times bestselling authors, Krista & Becca Ritchie.the worst part was hearing you. you know, i’d stay awake, listening to you, wondering if your cries would turn terrified, wondering if some guy decided to take advantage or hurt you.” Everything is told in Lily’s pov so we notably see the actual depiction of her addictions. Her addiction started when she was really young and her need to feel satiated has only increased since then. She’s also deeply aware of how messed up she is which allowed me and maybe others to see her flawed persona for who she is. Other than being constantly at war with her impulses through guilt and shame. Nauseating lurches from humour to horror ... it’s all part of the You experience. Photograph: Beth Dubber/Netflix I LOVED THIS BOOK. I loved the characters, the writing, the storyline, how DIFFERENT it was from any other story I have read. It was emotional, heart breaking but refreshing, sometimes comical, full of drama, and also intense.

Lilo my loves ❤️‍🩹 Lily and Loren are both extremely complex characters. I was equally annoyed at times yet felt such compassion for them. I think the Ritchie sisters did great with the portrayal of each, as their characters were written so profoundly in not sugarcoating the destructiveness and messiness that occurs with each addiction. see - usually i'm always on the girl's side, okay? no matter what. if she cheats, it's better than if he cheats. yes, i have double standards sometimes. love triangles with one girl and two men are ALWAYS better then with two girls and one man. sue Hi, honey. I did not need to hear about all of your detailed fantasies about literally every stranger you saw throughout this whole book. Also, I'm a little mad that you didn't make that poor Giggalo a cup of coffee. After carrying on this charade for years, something happens between this couple. They both come to realize their feelings are stronger than just friendship. They love each other as more than friends. Even with their addictions, they want to try. Try to turn what first started as a facade into something real. Become a real couple. Maybe Lo can drink less and maybe Lily can control her addiction to being only with Lo. Just maybe they can do this together… We may not be good for each other, but sometimes I feel like he’s the only guy who could ever love me."Both of these characters are destructive, damaged and flawed. And I loved them both. Lo is such a fantastic guy- he had so many issues of his own but he loves Lily fiercely and wants her to be his. I adored him. I also loved all of the secondary characters- Ryke, Connor, even Rose by the end. I can’t wait to read more about them and I’m happy to know they’ll be getting their own books! But Lo and I...We may not be good for each other, but sometimes I feel like he's the only guy who could ever love me."

No one would suspect shy Lily Calloway’s biggest secret. While everyone is dancing at college bars, Lily stays in the bathroom. To get laid. Her compulsion leads her to one-night stands, steamy hookups and events she shamefully regrets. The only person who knows her secret happens to have one of his own. In terms of the sex between Lily and Lo, I was actually very of disappointed. I felt like there was always no build-up and that it was awkwardly rough, personally I thought it would've been nicer if the author made their sex a little more tender and intimate, I wish she that she would've shown that having sex with someone you love is way more powerful and fulfilling and DIFFERENT than having sex with a stranger or someone you're not at all emotionally invested in or attached to. She repeatedly questions her way of being and her actions even though she doesn’t stop. It was impossible not to feel for her character esp bc she tries to not give in to her urges and even more with lo in making things work. Your name is spelled dumb. Why are you here? Literally nobody wants you here and they have said as much. Yes, thank you for that one time you helped carry Lo home because he passed out at your party, that was kind of cool of you, but now it's time to go. We've given you those comic books you never shut up about, now go away. Please and thank you.They understood and spent most of their lives concealing their addictions from everyone around them but they were also such enablers to it. They both didn’t want to seek out help for each other bc then it would mean they’d have to let go of their own addiction which neither was willing to do. Lily would enable lo’s uncontrolled drinking and lo would enable her sexual appetite and it became a normalized ritual for them. if you are expecting a cute love story; then this isn’t the book for you. this is a very messy and complicated story. there’s romance in it, but it’s about something bigger than that. be aware that it focus a lot on the characters’s addictions and it is portrayed in a realistic — not romanticized — way. They were oddly perfect for each other. They each understood the deep seeded addiction the other suffered. They'd seen each other at their worst and the way they cared for each other (and I'm not even talking romantically, I just mean caring from one person to another) was just so incredible heart wrenching.... I mean, HOLY EMOTION!!!! The cofactor to their story revolves around wealth and society as both characters come from wealthy families and so much is expected from them esp from their damaging parents.

Our selfishness wedges between us. Neither of us is willing to give up what we love for each other.”I’m not entirely sure whether you could call the characters ‘likeable’ because as a non-addict reading this book I was screaming ‘just stop!’ in my head over and over again. Description: Fans of Gossip Girl, Friends, and Euphoria will devour this edgy new adult romance set in a world of, fame, swoon-worthy men, and friendships that run deeper than blood.
