I didn't love this one. Which made me mad because this series has been all I can think about for like two months.
I think it was just a tad far removed for me from the world that was built by the other authors in this series.
The conflict didn't seem so serious. Not serious enough for the main character to be as "traumatized" as he was. Like his mom was annoying and he was bothered by his lazy sister, but I still don't know why he didn't just move out.... he was like in his late 20's. Also I have yet to understand how the dad never stood up for any of his children to his wretched wife.
For having such a tight knit family, Kush had a super weird dynamic with his siblings, not only that the weird black mail situation over a cell phone was a bit much. Then to hold a gambling addiction over his head seemed weird too.

everything was pg13, fade to black-ish, I thought it was like a squishy sweet romance which was fine. But if thats how you're going to write it, then commit and don't try to add family drama where there isn't any.
