About the Book

A gritty, angsty, friends-to-lovers stand-alone romance from USA Today bestselling author Siobhan Davis.

A childhood promise. An unbreakable bond. One tragic event that shatters everything.

It all started with the boys next door…

Devin and Ayden were my best friends. We were practically joined at the hip since age two. When we were kids, we thought we were invincible, inseparable, that nothing or no one could come between us.

But we were wrong.

Everything turned to crap our senior year of high school. Devin was turning into a clone of his deadbeat lowlife father—fighting, getting wasted, and screwing his way through every girl in town. I’d been hiding a secret crush on him for years. Afraid to tell him how I felt in case I ruined everything. So, I kept quiet and slowly watched him self-destruct with a constant ache in my heart.

Where Devin was all brooding darkness, Ayden was the shining light. Our star quarterback with the bright future whom everyone loved. But something wasn’t right. He was so guarded, and he wouldn’t let me in.

When Devin publicly shamed me, Ayden took my side, and our awesome-threesome bond was severed. The split was devastating. The heartbreak inevitable.

Ayden and I moved on with our lives, but the pain never lessened, and Devin was never far from our thoughts.

Until it all came to a head in college, and one eventful night changed everything.

Now, I’ve lost the two people who matter more to me than life itself. Nothing will ever be the same again.

A stand-alone new adult contemporary romance with a happy ending. Only suitable for readers aged eighteen and older due to mature content and possible triggers.

Review

It was very apparent what period that Inseparable had been written in. Everything felt very 2010s, and with a deep culture shift this book feels dated. At times, it almost feels dated for the 2010s. For some strange reason, I couldn’t stop reading it because I wanted to know what else would be thrown in. It was like an episode of a CW teenage drama.

Let’s start with the love triangle. It was very clear in the beginning which boy Angie was going to pick. Although said boy, might have been the worst character in the book in the first half, their romance was written in the stars, and it was going to happen regardless of whatever else happens in the story. I personally could not buy into their romance. The boy left a helpless girl in a dangerous situation, and that’s just unforgivable for me.

Another issue I had with the book, was the drama. The amount of drama in this book could fill up multiple television seasons. Every single teenage drama imaginable seemed to happen in this story. Was it well executed? No, and it felt like some revelations were just for shock value. I’m not the person to speak on the LGBTQ+ aspects of the book, so I will leave that to someone who is a member of that community. However, for the other drama and situations, it felt like it was just for shock value and overall terrible plot devices.

Final Thoughts

When I finished Inseparable, I immediately let out a deep sigh and felt like I needed a glass of water. This book is packed with unnecessary and terrible plot devices that don’t aid the romance or the characters. And speaking of the characters, most of them are so unlikable that it’s hard to root for them. In summary, there’s too much going on in this one.
