It should have
been easier.
I changed
everything. Became the beauty I didn't think he'd resist. Lived the
lie I thought he could love.
I sacrificed my soul
to recover the years that she took from us. Yet, I'm still empty-handed.
But he's mine.
I've earned him. It's time to collect my prize, and I'll be
damned if I let anyone come between us this late in the game.
If only I'd known
my greatest obstacle would be me.

Excerpt
I suppose when Brooks said, “See you later,” he meant
whenever I could come up another pathetic ruse to get his attention. Fuck that.
The path to his heart is proving to be significantly more treacherous than I'd
planned for, so I've given up on my own ideas. I picked up a book called Bitches
Get Rings: How to Trap Your Man for Good, and in a mere day it has cleared
my head—highlighted my priorities. If I want to get Brooks, if I want him to
get on one knee and later say “I do,” I have to make myself valuable. He
needs to know my worth—supply versus demand.
“Good morning,” two suited men say to me in unison as I
reach the top step.
My smile is polite as I step past the heavy doors.
“Morning.”
I weave through the pastel herd, slinking down the aisle,
eyes searching inconspicuously for the back of his head. It's Easter Sunday.
Brooks told Facebook days ago he'd be here when he declined his co-worker's
invitation to meet up. Another time, man. Going to church with the fam,
he'd said. So, I've been patient. Have read the book twice, and am committed to
following its advice. No messaging and asking what he's up to, no accidental
butt-dials, no I-thought-you-said-we'd-talk-later-asshole text.
No weakness.
I'm determined now to be a big fucking tease and show him
how much he needs me. So, I stalked him. Followed him. Now, I'm here at
church—a place I haven't been since my parents' funeral—wearing my Sunday best,
and prepared to do my best work.

Review:
I was one of the the ARC readers for this book and loved it! After reading the first one, I could really see some of the people I know take Ivy's personality or just plain be Ivy basically. It's like we all know someone who could be the characters from this book. I loved how Lauren put some flashbacks in this one but from Brook's POV. It did clear up what we learned from the first book. Ivy is still the same but more impatient in this book. You will see her dig more to get Brooks as her boyfriend, do more crazy antics and of course her lying to everyone. The most important part I loved the most and this really made the story complete: Lauren put one part and without trying to spoil it, but when reading the book some people will have to say " Ivy is crazy" and if you read the book a certain place does pop in the book, what threw me the most is the characters involved and how Lauren made Ivy in the scenes. We expected it to happen but how she wrote it and how the characters reacted was written so well, it's not the ending we expected but better. So when you get mad that the books complete, no book 3 really look into the storyline and see how wonderful she made it all fit together. I'm ready for standalones, I want to see if characters expand from where we left off, I want to know what happens after Antidote ends. It's not the books I read where cliffhangers hit or the ending is bad, I loved how she ended it, and I loved how she kept the craziness, and lies, it came together beautifully and I cried towards the end since I was caught up in what was happening. Expect more drama, more teenage hormones basically, lies, deceit, and most important guess if she gets brooks or does a twist happen?
