Book Review: Aggro by Coralee June and Carrie Gray

                                        "She liked to remind me that the world was a messy place and that we couldn't control every aspect of our lives without giving in to the privileges fate demanded of us. It was all give and take. We couldn't cling to our morals without letting go of our freedom." 

SWEET JESUS! 😂Before I get into this review, I'd like to take a moment and give a round of applause to Coralee June and Carrie Gray for knocking my socks off. This book literally killed me! I need someone to read this book ASAP, and then DM me so we can talk about that ending! I did not see that coming AT ALL! I'm pretty sure I read the last 30% of this book with a dropped jaw. So, now that I've got the OMG moment out of the way, let's take a closer look into this book. 

Summary:  

                                        "Two boys. One tragedy. Grief bonds us. The mystery of this murder will break us. My best friend was brutally ripped from this world, but her brother and boyfriend are still here. One of them wants to use me. The other wants to forget me. Both of them make me feel alive. We'll find Violet's murderer, no matter the cost. Two boys. One tragedy. Grief bonds us. Love will tear us apart." 

                           

Characters: 

    Breeze: To put it simply, I love Breeze. She is such a strong and unselfish heroine. Her life is now upside down when she realizes her best friend is dead. So obviously, she isn't coping well with this news. Breeze sometimes reminds me of me. She is the quiet and shy girl, rather than the attention seeking one. I love how she expresses herself in such an articulate way, and she's not afraid to tell people the truth. We all need a Breeze in our lives. 

    

    Kai: AWW, I also love Kai. He has so many different layers to him. On the surface, he is a brooding, scary, and dangerous guy with connections, but underneath, he is the complete opposite. I love his character. He is honest and oh so blunt, which isn't always the best thing in this book. Kai also doesn't have the best relations with some people, and that experience has definitely shaped who he is now. 

    Chase: Where do I begin with this guy? I love and hate Chase, but I understand where he is coming from. Some of his actions I do not agree with, but I can't help but feel for him. He struggles a lot throughout this book. Chase is confused and doesn't really know what to do. 

Chemistry:  

    Over the course of this book, I constantly changed my mind on who I liked more. One moment, I'm swooning for one person and I'm like, THIS IS IT!, and then in other moments I'm like, NO, IT'S THIS ONE. I love the build up, and the romance in this book. It's just really cute and sweet, which I think this book needs, because it tones down the intensity. The romance isn't the main part in this book, in case you were wondering. 

Plot: 

    There is A LOT to go over in this section! This book was a whirlwind of emotions. I mean, I felt sad, angry, happy, upset, disgust, shock, and so many more. It was a sad, intense, and surprising book to read. There were so many moments I had to just stop reading and think about what happened. This book isn't all about the murder, but about certain people's lives and the effect this murder had on them. 

    Death isn't always an easy thing to discuss and talk about with people. In this book, it shows that and so much more. It is not a light-hearted comedy. This book talks about serious content and how people cope with that. I loved how deep and in depth this book went. 

    There are so many twists and turns in this book, I'm kind of concerned I now have whiplash (just kidding, well maybe...) Seriously! Bomb after bomb was dropped, and my mind was like WAIT WHAT? 

    This book talks a lot about grief and guilt. It shows the ups and downs of life. There is so much more to it than just a suspense, romance book. 

Rating:  

    I give this book 5 stars!! It's so good from beginning to end. It discusses meaningful things, and brushes up on things people don't normally know. The character development is spectacular, and I find myself intrigued and inspired. The plot is so original and constantly had me on the edge of my seat.  I loved the characters with all my heart, and I can't wait for the next book. 

This book is definitely one everyone should read!
