Taken from Goodreads:  No wrong moves.

Those were the words the first boy I ever loved whispered in my ear on graduation weekend.

Naively, I believed him. Now those three little words feel like a bad omen I can’t escape.

Every move I’ve made since I returned to South Chapel hurts my ex-boyfriend, Greedy. But it’s for his benefit. That’s what I tell myself. Intentionally hurting him is for the best.

It has to be. I said goodbye to the possibility of forever with him the moment my mom and his dad “introduced us” at their engagement dinner.

Three years have passed, but that doesn’t matter to Greedy. He’s hell-bent on making sure I remember it all.

On my darkest nights, the memories win. Since his bedroom is just two doors down, he’s the anchor I seek when it all feels like too much.

But now Greedy’s best friend is back in town, and he and I are “dating” to get his meddling mother off his back. Not only is Levi my new fake boyfriend, but he’s also our new roommate, too.

No wrong moves, Greedy assured me years ago.

What if there are no right moves either?



So Wrong is the first book in the Boys of South Chapel series. It is a steamy second chance why choose romance. A full list of tropes and triggers can be found on the author’s website.

 

My Thoughts:   A steamy second chance story is perfect for me.   I listened to the audiobook; I love that the narrators were able to use their voices to bring the characters to life.  I could feel the story come to life as I listened. 

Hunter and her first love Greedy went their separate ways and are now back in the same town.  These two circled each other but could not keep away.   They were drawn to each other.  The kicker??  Hunter is fake dating Greedy’s best friend Levi.   This story was so much fun to listen to.  I liked the drama, the friendships, the romance, and the heat.    

So Wrong is a book with many triggers in this book that I want to be sure that anyone who picks it up whether to read or listen realizes it.   There is mentions of child abuse and neglect, miscarriages, homophobia, and others.  I suggest you check out the author's website (https://www.authorabbymillsaps.com/so-wrong) to check out the entire list.  I did not feel the triggers were big parts of the story but they are what makes the story what it is.   Each trigger was dealt with carefully and I felt they were presented in a realistic way.

 

Thank you Valentine PR for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

In eighth grade, she failed to qualify for the Power of the Pen State Championships because all her submissions contained the same theme: young people falling in love. #LookAtHerNow

She's best known for writing unapologetically angsty romance that causes emotional damage for her readers. Abby prides herself in writing authentic characters while weaving mental health, chronic illness, and neurodiverse representation into the fabric of her stories.

Abby met her husband at a house party the summer before her freshman year of college. He had a secret pizza stashed in the trunk of his car that he was saving for a midnight snack—how was she supposed to resist that level of golden retriever energy and preparedness? When Abby isn't writing, she's reading, traveling, and raising her three daughters.
