Steal Me - India R. Adams

I received an ARC of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you India R. Adams!

Can I give this book 7 stars? Sadly, that rating does not exist, so I shall invent it. ★★★★★★★

First of all, this book had ALL the feels. I mean ALL of them. I laughed, I teared up (I had to contain myself as I was in public), I smiled, and I ached. All from a beautifully written book. This demonstrated how amazing India is as an author.

Secondly, India immensely impressed me. The book was written in two male perspectives. Yes. MALE perspectives, and she hit a bulls eye with both. She got the teenage male psyche down to the T, and created completely natural and believable characters. Also, totally "'yum" worthy (I'm quoting India here). Maverick and Tucker are the most kind, caring, and protecting men I have ever read about. India, are you setting an unreachable standard that the future men I meet need to achieve? Okay, back to the book.

All of the characters in this book are so incredibly strong; showing us that everyone has a past they would like to keep under wraps. They are all so complex and layered. They add depth to the story and demonstrate just how skilled India is. I was especially intrigued by Delilah, the main female character. She has so many layers, we, the readers, have only just begun to peel back. There is still so much we don't know about her, because it is not told through her perspective (another ingenious decision).

Now I am out of India books to read as I have read them out... Sadness and despair... The anguish is real...
