First of all, I am so so happy to be able to read a book on my kindle that I had first read on Wattpad years ago. I am so proud of Claudia. To make things worse, God has decided to bestow upon Sienna the presence of Kayden Williams. He's moody, resentful, and has a lot of issues, but he is indeed a great fighter — perhaps one of the best if it weren't for the fact that he has been defeated in the ring by none other than Sienna's ex. heavier topics discussed such as grief, manipulative/emotionally abusive exes, dysfunctional families că nu mă împac bine cu poveștile scrise pe Wattpad și apoi publicate, n-am pornit cu mari așteptări când am ales să citesc “Viciul perfect” alături de Diana și Anto. Sigh) my love and admiration for Kayden grew more and more as I read. I forgot how much I loved Kayden from when I first read this, and the way he went from grumpy, but also a complete softie for Sienna was everything! I also loved seeing how Kayden was with Sienna such as, “…during those few rare moments when he lets his guard down, theres a kind of genuineness there that softens me and makes me feel all gooey inside.” Honestly same because even I was feeling gooey inside with the moments of sweetness and protectiveness that came off Kayden (sigh) yeah I hope you can tell just how much my love for this tough MMA fighter was STRONG AND IN FULL FORCE! GIMMIE!

Overall, it was a good book, if I put aside some plot holes and language issues, it would have been even better. Sienna is an MMA trainer, and a good one at that. When she walks in on her boyfriend Jax cheating on her with her sister Beth, she doesn't know what to do. But a plan starts to form when fate throws her in the direction of one Kayden Williams, who happens to be Jax's rival in the cage.Some parts of this book do feel a bit cliche, like Brent and Evans. But I really thought they were cute together. I also appreciated Sienna having her own friends like Cara and Alex. While I did enjoy many aspects of the published version of Perfect Addictions, many parts just didn't vibe with me. cine s-o ajute la răzbunare, dacă nu un alt luptător? Misteriosul Kayden…cât de intrigată am fost de personajul lui și cât m-au fiert interacțiunile dintre ei. Am savurat fiecare scena care-i surprindea, indiferent de ipostaze, iar dialogurile dintre ei, cireașa de pe tort 🥰. Thank you Netgalley for providing me with this arc. I was really excited to read this book after I saw it on Wattpad and that it was getting published

I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon Claudia Tan’s Perfect Addiction and realised that there was a film adaption in the works. This was largely due to the fact that Claudia and I come from the same country. The other reason that I was intrigued was the concept seemed interesting and college-aged cast of characters (instead of the usual high school-aged nonsense). Perfect Addiction stars Kiana Madeira as Sienna. Madeira is best known for playing Deena in Netflix’s Fear Street trilogy. She also played Nora in the After series of films. The After series, like Perfect Addiction, started life on Wattpad and is a similarly angsty romance. Audiences should enjoy seeing Madeira bring to life the character Claudia Tan described asromanzo mi è piaciuto moltissimo, soprattutto l’ambientazione sul ring degli MMA, con gli allenamenti, l’adrenalina che scaturisce durante l’incontro e lo spirito competitivo che aleggia sui lottatori intenzionati a portare a casa il titolo o semplicemente vincere il match. In general the romance happened pretty fast, but it felt like it didn't because of the training sessions in between. I wouldn't have minded if it wasn't for the previously mentioned tattoos and other stuff I won't spoil. Too fast!!! But they're cute. It not only turns out to be a perfect revenge story but also the story where Sienna finally uses her drive to focus on herself. With Julian slowly chipping away at her insecurities about going pro and Kayden’s final push to force her to think about her own decisions, Sienna really turned the story around and got the perfect revenge by investing in herself. She decided to fight for herself, not for Jax or for Kayden but for herself. At the end of the movie, she jots down her name on the entry card for professional mixed martial arts fighters as she considers making a career out of it before she retires and helps Julian with his gym. Step one: convince Jax’s rival, Kayden Williams, to train with her. Step two: beat Jax at his own game. De când am citit descrierea, mi s-a aprins un beculeț, lupte de MMA, deci pumni împărțiți în stânga și dreapta, transpirație la greu, dar și mușchi de admirat, așa că ce să vreau mai mult?

This book was written by someone who might have wanted to talk about important issues but not truly understand or be able to nuances of the issues. For example, when Sienna and Kayden talk to each other, there is a lot of mention of Alzheimer’s, bipolar, and the term “pussy” all being used as an insult, which I found troubling. In terms of the characters, there were a few things that I really loved about Sienna. I adored that she was a fighter, literally seeing she was involved in the world of MMA. She was also a smart character, even if she never went to classes. The thing that I loved the most about Sienna was her drive to get shit done and her desire for revenge. However, a major issue I had with the book was that there was so much internal dialogue from Sienna, that it seemed to overwhelm any plot or description that needed to happen to carry the book. You know what makes a person a fighter? It's not the number of punches he can throw or how long he can last in the cage. It's when he shows real courage and strength to overcome his battle wounds. You have scars, Killer. Own up to them." Holding grudges and bringing others into her plot for revenge eventually catches up. Personally, I can’t fault her for being angry, however, throughout the story she was slow to forgive and open herself up for what truly was the blessing of forgiveness and love. I love the characters so much. Sienna, Kayden, Brent, Evans, etc. I also love how the Perfect Illusion characters have cameos here <3And that's what makes him so efficient. Because he now has psychological impact on them and we get to see them fall apart and piece themselves together, stronger than ever. He was like their ultimate test. A test for both our characters to overcome their insecurities.
