Spoilers for an argument later in the book. Sean was mostly fine until much later in the book when the alarm started BLARING. Red alerts sounded, but I was promised it would all make sense later. The next red flag came when Sean took Cecelia's phone while they were out together and told her she wasn't allowed to have it when she was with him. This immediately set off red flags, but I was assured he wasn't manipulative so I kept reading. One of the first interactions between Sean and Cecelia occurs on a hike, during which Sean removes Cecelia's Apple Watch, stomps on it, and spouts a bunch of philosophical nonsense about time. Then Sean came into the picture and, although he seemed charming and mysterious at first, I was pretty quickly turned off by him. It isn't peak literature, but I figured it would be a fun book to pass a day. I'll admit, I fully intended to enjoy this book as soon as I started.

Thus begins her quest to integrate herself into their lives because they're hot and she's bored. Everyone seems to have the same tattoo and Sean's roommate Dominic is a jerk as soon as she meets him. During her first day on the job she meets Sean and joins him at a house party where she's immediately overwhelmed with people and the weirdness of the situation. It immediately flashes back to 18-year-old Cecelia coming to town for the first time to live in her dad's house and work in his factory.

The other day my friend told me I HAD to read it so I gave in and devoured it in a day.įlock begins with current day, 26-year-old Cecelia returning to a town where she left behind the only man she ever gave her heart to, while telling the reader that it's a bad idea. Flock is a book I haven't had much interest in reading, despite seeing it hyped constantly on TikTok. Lately, though, I've been reading a lot more romance when I get stuck in a reading slump and I figured it's about time my blog content catches up to my reading preferences. I don't usually review romance when I read it, mainly because it doesn't necessarily fit with the rest of my blog content.
