The Overbooked Society discussion

Hello everyone, I'm happy to announce that the BOTM for November is .......drum roll please ✨These Violent Delights✨

It's a Romeo Juliet retelling set in 1926 China with gangs and ✨enemies to lovers✨. Plus, the second book comes out on the 16th so it's the perfect time to catch up and binge the duology.

I hope a lot you participate and enjoy this book. If you want to buddy read this (which I highly recommend) you can create a thread here

Or if you want to have discussions on this book in general, you can have them in this thread itself.

I remember there was a book which a reviewer said ‘was exact same copy of ACOTAR’. I also remember it was like “these violent…something” in it.
Is this book similar to ACOTAR ?

This is a Romeo Julie retelling so no and it takes place in Shanghai. It's good! One of my favourites

It's actually a line from Romeo and Juliet:

These violent delights have violent ends, And in their triumph die like fire and powder, Which as they kiss consume.

I;ve never read Romeo and Juliet though lol

As for this book, It took me some time to get into it. It's solid 4 stars.

I'm going to try to get this book from my library! Excited to read it bc I love enemies to lovers :D

gonna start this one right after I finish 1 arc!!
