– 1 starYou say Bad – Worse – Worst and all I hear is Wild Like Us – Fearless Like Us – Infamous Like Us Surprise, here I am 🤡 it took me forever to read this book and I really thought I'd be too drained to rant about it, but–god help me–my hate for Kitsulletti and Infamous Like Us trumps everything and gives me the energy boost needed to vent (also fun fact: when I finished ILU I was so done with this world that I fell asleep at 8pm and slept for 10 hrs straight 😩 a book that puts you into a coma has suddenly a whole new meaning). Therapy is expensive, ranting on Goodreads is for free so here we goooo. Buckle up besties, because we're going for a ride. 😈🗑️ Let's start with Sullivan Meadows. The most insufferable heroine in this series and I'd even go that far to say that she is one of the most annoying heroines ever written in romance. That bitch got on my last fucking nerve. I can't believe this is Raisy's daughter. Ryke and Daisy are so wholesome and then there is Sulli 🤡 reading her chapters gave me brain damage. Sulli talks like a 16 yrs old immature frat boy (it's not as bad as in Wild Like Us tbh) and she was so whinny. 911-I'd like to reoport a missing deranged horse that is on the run. Sulli cried over everything, her accidental pregnancy, losing at the olympics, Jane being pregnant too. Speaking of Jane, Sulli was the worst fucking cousin ignoring Jane because of how she would "bE cOmPaReD to HEr 🤡" bitch, you are not better than the media. Actually you are even worse, because she is your family and you are being a little crybaby. Instead of using that opportunity to bond with your cousin over shared experience, you avoid her like the plague and makes her feel like shit. "I waNt tO BE tHe KinD of PERsON pEoPLE can FuCkiNG tRuSt." Abandoning her best friend (Beckett) when it gets hard, abandoning her cousin (Jane) when it's too much, trash talking her other cousin (Charlie). The nerve. The audacity. The joke. LMAO. No wonder no one wants to include you in their friendship you're a disloyal self-centered asshole. And all her whinnying about placing second at the Olympics?! 💀 I get that swimming is Sulli's only personality trait and without it she is nothing, but oh boy was it exhausting. She's crying about how the media says she is too distracted and it's just the truth. Sulli getting hate on social media about her poly relationship, she finds out before the Olympics that she is pregnant without wanting to be, has PDSD from when some thief pointed a gun at her head etc. THAT ARE DISTRACTIONS WHY DENY IT YOU DUMB IDIOT. She is literally crying about how "she'll go from one of the greatest swimmers of my generations to one of the greatest failures" does Silver medal at the Olympic screams to you like being the greatest failure? CRYING IN WHITE PRIVILEGE 🤡 I cannot stand this girl one bit. She is the worst. 🤡 Next, our dear Heroes. Mister Akara 'my-dad-is-my-role-model-and-I-will-never-live-up-to-his-standard' Kitsuwon and Mister Banks 'my-dad-is-a-piece-of-shit-and-I-hate-him' Moretti. One would think characters with this kind of daddy-issues would have a bright personality, but nah wrong. They couldn't even be blander. Why are these two getting less personality with each book. While Sulli gets more insufferable with each book, Akara and Banks just blend into the background no matter how many chapters are in their POVs. Here is Sulli talking about her her ex-boyfriend Will Rochester, but it could apply to Akara and Banks too "Fuck him and his stupid chiseled jaw and his bland personality and his deceitful fucking butthole!" Also this "I didn't order a sandwich." Sulli grins."But you're the peanut butter to our bread.""We'd be bland without you," Akara jokes. I absolutely LOVE the self awareness of these guys. They KNOW they are bland af, but what they got wrong is that they ARE bland, even with Sulli in the middle. 🏃🏻‍♀️ 🚮 The CRINGE is not letting down anytime soon with this couple. The problem why Kitsulletti doesn't work is because all three characters sound the same. I'm reading Sulli POV and it could as well be Akara or Banks. So many times I had to look up who the chapter was about because they all have the same annoying immature voice. So many scenes where the three of them shout random things at each other or say the dumbest shit that made my soul wither away. Exhibit A: "I fucking hate fireworks. They can go blow up Satan's butthole. That's where you fucking belong!" she shouts at the ceiling."YEAH!" Akara yells upward."FUCK YEAH!" Sulli screams. Exhibit B: "We're not doing anything that could hurt you or the baby," Akara adds. "Cumbuckets," I mutter."She's sad," Akara says in a teasing voice to Banks.He wears a shadow of a smile. "She wants our cocks." Exhibit C: "Don't die for me," she chokes out.Banks and I share a smile, and he's the one who says, "I couldn't think of a better person to die for.""Lady Meadows," I finish. Exhibit D: Daisy swivels more, unbuckling. "Good news first. The sun before the clouds is totally better."Sulli tucks her legs to her chest. "I'd rather be a sunrise slut than Sulli the Slut anyway." Exhibit E: "Are we going to what?" Akara asks, sliding his boxer-briefs down. He's totally naked, his erection standing at attention. I imagine him filling me. I breathe, "Are we going to bone?" He smiles. "You want his boner?" 🗑️ The plot of this whole book was atrocious. It was just drama before the Olympics, drama during the Olympics and drama after the Olympics. Plotting was never KBR strongsuit and that's okay, because they created some of the best characters and gave them great character development (I'm not talking about Like Us series btw) Even the drama in this series doesn't make any sense. It's still about how the media is bashing these families and following them. It's the same shit from the Addicted series over and over again. You can't tell me after over 20 years that media still think that Ryke is Moffy's father and that Lily had something with Ryke seriously? That's the most stupid thing ever. Now they are just reaching with the drama. Yeah yeah, the media and tabloids are the worst, but for fucks sake, come up with something new 😪🤡 That Sulli, Banks and Akara all hate Charlie was annoying to read, because the Like Us series is synonym with Charlie Cobalt bashing, but hey Charlie is a complex and multi-layered character and it takes a certain level of intelligence to understand him, which all three of them lacks, so of course Sulli would think that Charlie "maybe has a heart somewhere" girlie you wouldn't understand even if it hit you in the face with how weak you are. With Charlie you at least know where you are, Sulli the fake coward can't relate.⭐ King CHARLIE COBALT came to spit some facts. Finally someone who calls Sulli out at her shitty behavior. This one scene with him and the other Cobalt brother lives in my head now. "Instead of failing at whispering, just say it to my face, Sulli." An insult and a challenge. I'm not interested in the mental-fuckery from Charlie–not before tomorrow's 400m free. "I'll fucking pass.""Coward." "And that will always be the difference between them and all of you," Charlie says pointedly. "You have a heart.""And you dont?" Eliot challenge. "I see through you, Charlie, and your heart beats just like the rest of ours, dear brother.""If only that were true." I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE COBALT BROTHERS SERIES!!! They are carrying this series on their shoulders with their one cameo per book and it's time for them to shine. 🥰❤️ Tom's concert and the Coballoway crumbs. My heart 🥺 Black high heels, black dress, and black sunglasses, Rose walks hand-in-hand with Connor Cobalt. He's dressed for a Fortune 500 business meeting, not an emo-punk concert, but they carry themselves with importance, like everyone else are the ones who don't belong. 🚮 Akara's mom dying at the end of the book was kinda ... random. We never really got a scene where Akara introduced Sulli to his mother and then she was just dead. Three Kitsuletti books and Sulli hasn't met any of her boyfriends relatives and then Akara's mom dies? Why was this even included? It didn't make any sense. Oh wait–it's just to drag out these books even more and create drama where drama is not needed. 🗑️ That whole drama when Thatcher got shot protecting Sulli dksdlsfjldfks I WAS CRYING TEARS GUYS 🤣🤣 it was so over the top dramatic how everyone was crying and waiting in the hospital BYE. It so obvious how Thatcher is always the villain in this series, at the beginning his dislike of Farrow and in Kitsulletti books too and how Moffy is always the great Hero who can do no wrong, cause he is such a sAiNt 🥴 🤡 Kitsulletti's children are named "SEVEN" and "BLUE" FSKLDJSLDFKJALFDKAJ Blue is somehow acceptable if I close both of my eyes, but 7 ?! Just because Akara's nickname is "Nine" because he was born at 09:09 am (🤡) doesn't mean you have to name your son "Seven" i mean was he at least born at 07:07 (🤡) these elitist people really getting weird with their names 🚮 This book could have been at least 300 pages shorter if you would cut out all the unnecessary drama and scenes with unnecessary side characters no one asked for. For example: there was a whole chapter dedicated where Sulli wanted to confront her ex-boyfriends family, but instead it was a confrontation with some of the other bodyguards. Was this important for the story? No. Then there was a whole ass chapter dedicated to find Sulli's bracelet that she forgot 🤡 why did we need this exactly? WHY? Then another chapter where Akara and Banks act like the 15 yrs old they are and open a twitter account to fight the haters. Instead of using the ink to write these dumb af scenes, give us scenes with the parents, the other relationships between cousin-cousin or sister-sister. All this potential wasted. 🎉🎉🎉 OMG OMG OMG I'M REALLY DONE WITH KITSULLETTI IM FUCKING DONE 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Even though, I heard there is going to be a epilogue novel for the Like Us series with all couples like Some Kind of Perfect where i will have to read Kitsulletti's POV once again, but never a full length 600+ book again 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 ALEXA PLAY PARTY IN THE USA 🎉🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳Conclusion In case this review didn't make it clear enough. I hate these characters. I hate this book. I basically hate the majority of this series, but most of all I hate myself that I can't stop reading this series, because I'm in way too deep now. I started the Like Us series for the Core 6 cameos and now we are reduced to several paragraphs of the Core 6 in a 600+ pages books with additional side character (Charlie) scenes to get us over with. I feel so light now after I could unload all the burden. 😭┍━━━━━━━━━━━━━┑ KITSULETTI TRILOGY #8 Wild Like Us – 1.5 stars#9 Fearless Like Us – 1.25 stars#10 Infamous Like Us – 1 star┕━━━━━━━━━━━━━┙
