Review: Organized Chaos

Organized Chaos by Drethi Anis
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Note: I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Note 2: This is a duet. Organized Chaos is the first. Discord is the next and final book in this duet. Please read in order.

Trigger Warnings: infidelity (not by MCs), grief, mental health issues, drug use, age gap, dubcon, narcissist alert, stalking

Oye...this novel...idk how to even put into words how I truly feel about it. But I'll try, anyway.

I should talk about the good things first.

1. The steam - was pretty wowza despite the context.
2. Writing - was mostly straightforward.
3. Side characters - were definitely interesting, supportive (not all but most).
4. The many warnings - were displayed well - although maybe a bit too hardcore for my taste - but oh well - now I appreciate them I guess than before.

And that's pretty much it for the good list.

Now onto the bad:
1. The narcissism - I get the dark disturbing warnings - despite me still being a little uncomfortable with them - but the narcissist I don't understand - I mean at least some care about others from his angle would've made me liked the story at least. Shouldn't the narcissist be a trigger warning?
3. The endless back and forth - it's the same thing happening but only from both ends. I might as well have played Ping Pong.

I honestly don't know if Discord might be better than this. I mean think about it...my complaints list is more hardcore than the good things. And the narcissist hero?

Mm, this might indeed be one of those strange days where I continued reading a story like this.

Until the next read,
