The Fragile Minds Duet by Blake Blessing -> Starting October 14th, 2021

[Alaina]

I’m not crazy.

I’m the product of a schizophrenic mother who seemed more evil than human, and a bipolar father who didn’t love me enough to stay.

But I’m not crazy.

Now I’m struggling with life and question myself and my decisions every single day. Are these signs? Red flags? I won’t let myself look too close.

I refuse to be crazy.

Then four men swoop in just when I need them. They’re protective, supportive, and everything I never had even though we’re unconventional. I want to be the person they need me to be. I need it.

But I’m afraid...that I’m crazy.

25% (view spoiler)[Oh man, gotta love how all these men just magically show up in her life at once. At this point I want to know more about her mom and why she fears mental illness so much. (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

53% (view spoiler)[Oh no she lost her confidant, hope this doesn't send her on a spiral (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

78% (view spoiler)[ These guys are just too perfect and kind. They all took to this new relationship rather well and I'm surprised, waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Also I dunno why but I keep wondering if her mom was not even guilty of killing the kid and maybe it was the heroine? The mom won't talk about it at all, the heroine has no memories of the time and learned she was there but did not remember that??? I mean she's so afraid of mental illness, maybe because she has one but is in denial??? (hide spoiler)]

FINISHED AHHHHHHHHH (view spoiler)[OMFG did that just happen? Has this entire book her delusion? OMG I don't know how to feel but my head definitely feels like it exploded. I cannot believe this. She made it all up in her head and I fell for it all. This is so insane and not at all what I expected to happen. Hell I thought she'd learn she was a murderer not that her relationship of months was all in her head.... SHOCKED!!!! I have no idea how to feel. I spent hours falling for these men all to learn they are not real. So what the hell does this mean for the next book? I mean there isn't even an actual romance??? OMG so many questions and now I need to dive in because this girl needs answers stat!!!! (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

28% (view spoiler)[OMG Kenzo is so funny. Why does he have to be dating an evil skank lol?? It's so weird being with the heroine re-meeting her harem. I mean everything she thought she knew made up, even their appearances are slightly different. This is just so wild. She seems to be handling this far too well. Then again it is something she has to learn to live with. (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

36% (view spoiler)[Wait, OMG am I right? Was she the guilty one for killing the boy and not her mom???? AHHH, then what does this mean for Drake, oh man, I don't even know what to think or feel anymore. Crazy ass duet that's for sure lol (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

56% (view spoiler)[I had no idea what to expect from this. It’s basically like a do over of book one only this time the delusions are real. I really had a laugh when the heroine was at the bar with her friend and one after another the guys saunter in, it was pretty comical.

[Alaina]

Ahhh you are killing me in BRs! I think I will get to this tomorrow?!?! Not sure.

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Hahaha nah, I'm behind on a bunch too, it was just easier to get the series out of the way first. But I am dying to see your reaction to book one, I'm not going to even say a word because it needs to be experienced!!!!!

[Alaina]

oh man I should have done that this time around and I did the opposite.. went for the standalones first lol

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

68% (view spoiler)[OMFG, Atticus is freaking scared of his goldfish LMAO (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

82% (view spoiler)[Oh no, I’m so nervous over how this meeting with her mother will go……. ***Deep breaths*** 😶😶😶😶 (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

84% (view spoiler)[Ummmm WTF 😱🤯 Wtf? And he kills her?. 😮😮 (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Finished (view spoiler)[I dunno really how I feel about this. As crazy as it was I kept putting it down but then it was so good while reading, I don't know what my problem was. Kind of had me questioning everything throughout the book which continued to the bitter end but this could at least be explained away after how the first ended. Cute story though and I'm glad her fantasy harem became real even if the journey was insane. Also glad to know what happened with Drakes bro. The guys were almost too sweet and understanding at times but I did like that this was a new thing for them all but honestly not 100% I got forever vibes from them all either. Wish we had more time with them all together because it's really only one book and with five men it's a bit much to squeeze in!. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Okay, today is the DAY for me to add my comments for book 1. Holy cannoli I can't believe I haven't done it yet.

[Alaina]

Ch 1-5: (view spoiler)[Okay, I have SO many questions right now. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Ch 6-10: (view spoiler)[Blueberries? Evil? Makes sense to me.. I don't even like them. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Ch 11-15: (view spoiler)[The guys took this way easier than I thought they would. Also I want her to talk to Drake. Like seriously. Women up please. Put on your big girl panties and talk to him. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Right!?!?!?! Never once did I see that coming 😵

[Alaina]

I just feel terrible but just adding these comments! It has been crazy busy at work. I'm hoping to get to this sequel of this and barbie tonight or tomorrow.

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

AWw that sucks sorry to hear that, hopefully the weekend being right around the corner helps 😎 Can’t wait to see how you feel about the second one after the end of this one…

[Alaina]

Ugh I'm not sure the weekend will be any better. We have to work since it's end of month and end of quarter for one of our partners.

[Alaina]

Okay once I finish the 3rd book for barbie, I will jump into the sequel of this.

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Oh man good luck. Wondering if things will be more or less weird for you since its been a few days, feel like I wish I had waited lol

[Alaina]

LOL I don't know. I wish I didn't wait so long but ugh.. real life got in the way big time. Oh, and lots of books. I'm hoping to get into this tonight or tomorrow.

[Alaina]

Okay starting the sequel now!

[Alaina]

Prologue: (view spoiler)[Okay, I'm confused.. but happy at the same time that I'm getting the guys pov too. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

33%: (view spoiler)[I actually like Saint.. but I feel like she just needs friends or a good support group more than a relationship right now. Could be me though. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

64%: (view spoiler)[Hmm.. I honestly can't even tell if this is really happening or not. Which sucks because the first book did a huge mindfuck on me. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

84%: (view spoiler)[what. the. actual. fuck. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

100%: (view spoiler)[It's definitely interesting to see her fantasy come true because hot damn.. but I feel like I liked the fantasy part a bit more? (hide spoiler)]

Omg yes lol. Makes you question everything

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Alaina wrote: "100%: [spoilers removed]"

Yeah. (view spoiler)[It made the reality of it kinda boring. Plus they were totally different ppl than in her head. Just a weird mindfuck of a duology lol (hide spoiler)]
