This was such a true story about how love can be. I fell in love with how it all played out and just adored the characters. Once you start you won't be able to put it down! The cover is what I first saw and I am so glad that I picked it up! If you are looking for a great read with a lot of angst then check this one out!

Super angsty read. I did enjoy this. Everything felt real and authentic. I thought the author did a great job of making me feel the emotions

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced e-copy of Revenge Cake!!

This is a love story but the people in this story are not perfect and that is what makes it so compelling. There is panic, anxiety and a number of other problems that are dealt with in this book to show that everyone has their own problems that they are dealing with. Leilani and Logan let their problems get in the way of their relationship and once Logan says he needs a break Leilani decides to get revenge by writing out a list and completing it in order to hurt him as much as she thinks that he has hurt her.

The cover is what grabbed my attention right away and the drama is what I stayed for. I liked the way it switched back and forth from the past to the present. It was easy to follow and the writing style was great.

"I love you," I tell her.
"I know," she says, like she's Han Solo, but I try not to let it bother me. I try embrace today's victory. I'll save her "I love you"for another day.

This maybe has a cute and sweet cover, but this is not a sweet read. This is not your cute rom com story. This is a story about panic and anxiety, and second guessing, and need to be loved and to have someone just who gets you.

Lani is strong with no filter person, but her kryptonite is hers panic and anxiety attacks, and Logan. She doesn't want him to be her weakness but he is. She is just so scared for losing him, that she push him out. She is scared that she will get hurt, and pushing him she just her herself.
Logan just doesn't know to be alone, he just need love. He is just like that. And when he falls for someone he falls hard. In two minutes he met Lani, he fall in love. It was like love at the first sight.
Lani just needs him, but she is so scared to asked for help, that she is just mean.
I hate that she is so scared that he will leave her because her panic attacks. And she never address the elephant in the room. And she never tells him, how bad the thing are.
I just get her. I don't have panic attacks, I was depressed, and I was the same, just pushing everyone away. I also have poor social skills. So I know how it is. This just hit close to home, for me.
It is ok not to be ok. It is ok not to be at your 100%. You just don't need to be happy all the time. Be you don't need to run away from good stuff and happiness, because you think you don't deserve it.
We are all humans and nobody is perfect, they just hide it better. All in all you just need to be you. Because only you can be you.
This was 5 stars for me. Thank you so much for this read.
