bookshelves: not-for-me

note to self: only read this if ava isn't a virgin, else...don't bother 🙃


================


update: she's a v-card holder TOO!!! so yeah, i'm definitely not reading this anymore 🥴🤦‍♀️



also, don't come at my PERSONAL review and talk sh*t about virginity not being a big deal. it might not be for you, but it is for me. i want an even playing field, mmmkay?? either they're both V or they're both experienced; there's no in-between. and yes, i've read the other books in this series, but in my delusional era, i still hoped that the manwhore x virgin pattern wouldn't extend to eli and ava, but alas, that didn't happen 🤧


reading the other reviews, i'm slowly getting swayed to read this, but only because i want the jeremycecily's crumbs. i love them sooo much, and i want to see their freaking wedding. 🥹🥹

Ugh, Vru! Cora Reilly has the top spot among my authors to avoid. 🤧 Gosh, I hope Ms. Kent won't end up like that. 🥲


✶ ✶ Hummingbird ✶ ✶ Ava is a virgin. Eli is not. In fact I think she confirmed (maybe on her insta- not sure) that he was never in love with her until college

well, fxck, i know eli isn't, but why does ava have to be?! ugh, thanks hummingbird! i'm officially not reading this anymore. 🥴🫠


message 10: by Koryne (new)

Koryne okay but like if everyone is saying how gross it would be if eli was a virgin since he’s older, he was still older than her (according to that other review posted) and she is still under age at 17 when he gave her her first kiss right???? so like why not just make him obsessed since always 😅

exactly, koryne!!! why can't he wait for her or idk for ava to have other experiences too? either they're both virgin or not. i just want an even playing field. why the men in this series have to be whores and the women to be fxcking virgins all the time?? 😤


message 12: by Koryne (new)

Koryne i think the ONLY thing that can save this is if he was at LEAST celibate after kissing her at 17 but the “no substantial ow drama” is me thinking he’s not even that 😐

knowing the men of RK as highly sexual people, i highly doubt the celibacy of eli. but who knows?? 🤷‍♀️ but if he was, maybe, just maybe 🤏 i might change my mind, but that's still a big if 😒 ugh!!!


✶ ✶ Hummingbird ✶ ✶ No problem!


nikki Wait really? How did you find out that Ava is a virgin??? I'm so sick of RK always writing virgin heroines


˚₊‧꒰ა vrushtixreads ໒꒱ ‧₊˚ What can we expect from Rina

Always Reading I am so confused! So they were married for two years but never had sex? Was he with OW during this time?

honestly, idk, since all the info available came from arc reviews. 🫣

Same question girl, same question. Idk if she has an obsession with virgin heroines or whatnot. I'm fed up with her pairings; so sad that I'm not gonna be able to read this last book of the series. 😩

Eunoia sucks. That is why I really cannot go on and read her stories. I always dnf. can't with the double standards.

so true, this trope refuses to die, and it's the same in every MF book in this series. it gets tiring and annoying along the way, so i'm not putting myself up for another torture again. ✋❌

Kristen I haven’t read all of Rina’s books but is the Deception Trilogy the only one that doesn’t have a virgin h?

you're welcome, kristen! 😄 and i couldn't agree more, that trope should be banned for life ugh 🥴

it doesn't matter, she was still a v while he slept around 🤢


✶ ✶ Hummingbird ✶ ✶ Sorry to ruin this further. Eli is not celibate after kissing Ava at 17. In fact Ava goes as far as to “drive away” not only his prospective ONS (plural) but also drives away the women he was sleeping with while she enrolled in college

✶ ✶ Hummingbird ✶ ✶ The comment section of that review also mentions OW drama

Hey Hello She's a virgin while he was sleeping with women left and right in uni while driving all men away from her, biggest yuck ever

Hey Hello He was only celibate after they got married 2 years ago, aka the 3 years he was supposedly obsessed with her he was still manwhorinh

ahhh yeah, i'm waiting for nikki's review 🥲 but i'm not sold on this, i just want to read how this turned out to be an epic disaster

i read from the other reviews that they were both driving om/ow away, ig they're perfect for each other that way 😑 but i still and will not get over the fact that she's a virgin.

rk gave the impression of colesilver for them since the res era and the "obsess" part in the books prior to this, only for her to backtrack her probably supposedly original plot, wish she stick with that. it wouldn't be gross if eli waited and didn't do anything with her (or ow) while she's freaking underage. 😑


message 43: by Hey (new) - rated it 2 stars

Hey Hello Or at least she could have made him celibat after Ava went to college and his "obsession" started but nope he had to keep sleeping around
I dont get why ava had to be a virgin too like she was 23 ffs her fixation with manwhored and virgins is ridiculous


Sneha I don't think any other of her MMC were sexually active after they began noticing the FMC. It happened with Eli because of how overhyped he was, rina honestly thought the book girlies would love him no matter how much of a Manwhore he is.


message 45: by Hey (new) - rated it 2 stars

Hey Hello @sneha Eli , Aiden, Levi and Daniel were all sexually active after noticing the fmc ...


Feriel B he was sexually active up untill they got married while she remained a 23 year old virgin , i'd love to say it was his fault she was a virgin but truth is she wasn't into any men apart from that manwhore who had no issue being with others despite being " obsessed"


Sneha @HeyHello Right most of her MMCs are Manwhores but yk not when they are obsessed with FMC. Like with Eli he only stopped sleeping around when they got married.

exactly this point, he only stopped sleeping around when they got married, but before that and during the time he was supposedly growing his obsession with her, he was still fxcking around. wish rk made him totally into ava only and made him unaware of the presence of ow 😫

this would've been acceptable, but nope, rk didn't want any of that stuff. she wants her mmcs to have some fun while her fmcs have to wait on the sidelines until it's finally their freaking turn 🤦‍♀️
