After watching insane amounts of videos on TikTok, I purchased Twisted Love written by Ana Huang , and dived into it. The plot revolves around Ava, a Chinese-American college student, and Alex Volkov, a businessman. The tale kicks off when Ava's brother embarks on an internship and entrusts Alex with the responsibility of looking after his sister. In pursuit of this duty, Alex relocates to the brother's apartment, initiating a friendship with Ava. As he provides support and aids her in overcoming her water-related trauma, a deeper connection forms between them. Both characters harbor traumatic pasts – Ava, scarred by her mother's attempt to drown her, and Alex, haunted by witnessing his parents' cold-blooded murder at the hands of business rivals. Alex spends his life preparing for revenge against the family responsible for his parents' death. My Review  My Rating:  ★★★ ️ ️ 4 stars.
