Things I Wanted To Say (But Never Did) by Monica Murphy is now live!
Whit Lancaster burst into my life like a storm. Dark and thunderous, furious and fierce. Cold, heartless and devastatingly beautiful, like the statues in our prep school gardens. The school with his family name on the sign. He can do no wrong here. This is his domain.
He’s a menace on campus. Adored and feared. Hated and respected. His taunting words carve into my skin, shredding me to ribbons. Yet his intense gaze scorches my blood, fills me with a longing I don’t understand.
When I stumble upon him one night alone, I find him broken. Bleeding. My instincts scream to leave and let him suffer, but I can’t. I sneak him into my room. Clean him up. Fall for his lies. Let him possess every single part of me until I’m the one left a gasping, broken mess.
When he leaves me alone in the dead of night, he takes my journal with him.
Now he knows all my secrets. My hate. My truth. And he promises to use my words against me. I’ll be ruined if my darkest secret gets out.
That’s when I strike a bargain with the devil.
I’ll let Whit Lancaster ruin me behind closed doors instead.

Who knew that Monica Murphy could write a book that would leave me shocked. LOL
Monica Murphy’s newest standalone, Things I Wanted to Say (But Never Did), is a YA bully romance and she knocked this one out!!!
I have read plenty of books my Monica and know that she can be sweet and endearing but also write some heavy subjects. But she’s once again shocked me (I truly should not be surprised any more) that she can also write and deliver dark characters with dark undertones.
I think what threw me the loop was that I have been reading her college and YA stories for quite a bit now and to read something that is a 180 of those plot lines and characters, it’s almost as though I am reading something by a new author. But I am not!!
Anyway – I digress. This book and these characters! WOW!!
Whit is a dick. He is and he knows it too. I hated him for the majority of this book and loved it when Summer would keep him check unintentionally. In the end, I absolutely loved him but he’s a dick. LOL
Summer is Whit’s equal in so many different ways. Yes, I wrote that correctly. She’s his equal in opposite ways and I love it. She does annoy me at times with her back and forth. I wanted her to not contradict herself so much.
Overall, I thoroughly loved this book. I devoured it quickly. My only reason for not rating this higher was the length. I felt that it was drug out too long and there too many instances that felt repetitive without any development in the plot or characters. Other than that, this book was amazing and hope to see other characters get their books in the future.
