Laces is one of those books where you think you know what to expect going in, but you're so wrong in the best possible ways. I was expecting a pretty girl to be committed and then to be bullied by the "crazy" yet oh so attractive guy. Fortunately Laces is so much more than that! This is a slow burn, angsty type of book that will leave you salivating for more. It didn't take me long to finish but these characters and their stories are going to stay with me for a very long time. This is the first asylum bully romance that I've read and I now feel sorry for all that come after because Tempi Lark has set the bar impossibly high!
Now that I've expressed how wonderful I feel that this book is, I've got to be honest with my criticisms. This book could've used a little more meat. I understand the author was dealing with illness and complications so that can be forgiven this time around, but her illness did affect the story. I feel like the characters' stories could've been fleshed out more and that the ending came abruptly. Granted, I don't think that I will ever have enough of these characters!! Still I feel as if the ending was equivalent of somebody ending their story in the middle of a sentence. The bright side of this though is that I now cannot wait to read what comes next! There were also quite a few wording errors/typos that I feel should've been caught prior to release. These errors don't detract from the overall story, but I feel like editors, beta readers, early reviewers, etc should've caught these and notified the author prior since they were quite noticeable.
Laces is definitely worth the click and read. No book can ever be "perfect," but this one is still easily a great read. The characters are nuanced and play well off each other. The setting is different and could be a story in and of itself. The story itself leaves you excited and wary about what comes next all while not wanting it to end anytime soon. If my criticisms have you thinking it's not worth it, rest assured Laces is most definitely worth the read! I highly recommend that you one click and get started as soon as possible because you're going to need some downtime to process what was read and return to sanity.

Wow, can't wait for the next book.
This books was truly entertaining. Honestly love that it's based in an asylum. The fact that the characters in the book all have their own issues but not just precieved as just their diagnosed it awesome. I truly wonder if the step dad has split personality disorder. Only complaint is now having to wait for Lincoln to be released.
