They say the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else. They say the best way to stay sober is to love yourself. I’m great at making bad decisions. Addict? Check. Poor impulse control? Check. Obsessed with the guy I’m sponsoring? Check Check Check. There is no one worse for me to want in my bed than Jake Tully. He’s hot and grumpy and literally a terrible idea. Terrible. Worse, no one has ever made me feel the way he does — valued. But here I am - thinking about him again. Falling for my sponsor is not my worst idea yet, but it’s damn close. Felix Fields is everything good. He’s thoughtful and kind. I can’t help but think about every bad thing we could do between these sheets. But we can’t be together. I’m not willing to risk my recovery for anyone – even if he might be perfect for me. Finding a love like this is nothing short of a tragedy. **Author's Note: This book ends in a Happily Ever After, but getting there isn't easy.

I finally read The Tragedy of Felix & Jake and it’s safe to say that this book definitely deserves all the hype.
Felix & Jake was everything and they totally have my heart. They had me crying, laughing, and swooning. Felix was so adorable and I wanted to give Jake a hug. Felix & Jake was literally perfect for each other, like they were soulmates perfect and they were both so strong and never gave up on each other. Both Felix & Jake deserve the world.
Even though it hurt sometimes reading it, The Tragedy of Felix & Jake is a beautifully written tragic and painful love story with amazing writing, and flawed and complex characters. This book is painful and raw and doesn’t shy away from the ugly parts of living with addiction. But there is beauty to it because Felix & Jake’s love story is filled with love, hope, and healing in the end and that’s what life is all about.
Overall, I am glad I read this book and I loved it so much. Make sure to check the trigger warnings before reading.
