“You’re perfect. You’re so perfect, and I want to tear apart the people who made you feel like you weren’t.”
Most of You was an amazing and beautiful story that turned my heart into an achy, melty mess!
I adored Emil and Renzo as a couple and shipped them hard, they both had a lot of baggage and their story was definitely an emotional read. E.M. Lindsey is brilliant at writing these perfectly flawed characters with traumas and haunted pasts, and I loved how they portrayed Emil and Renzo here.
Emil and Renzo were so good for each other, and my heart melted every time Renzo called him sweet things. I love stories with a touch-starved MC and Emil was definitely one of those, making my heart ache for him every time he reflected over his own past. I loved how safe he felt with Renzo, and it felt like they shared a connection right away. They also had fantastic chemistry and it made the steam really hot and spicy!
It was a little bit of a redemption story, since Emil didn’t really make the best impression in Halo, but I loved how hard he worked on becoming a better person and making up for the past. Even if Most of You works as a standalone, I recommend reading Halo first in order to get some background on Emil, Victor and Oliver.
Most of You was a wonderful story, full of emotions but also a ton of sweetness, love and support. I just couldn’t put the book down once I got into it – both Emil and Renzo had amazing character growth and they had me totally captivated from the first chapter. I adored them so much and I really recommend their story!
