WHAT WAS THAT!!!

Omg, that ending. 

This is a fantastic book. I was immediately hooked and couldn’t put it down. The characters are great and I love them so much. The story and mystery has me guessing and wondering what will happen next. I was a little iffy about this one because I’m not super into bully romance, but the bullying isn’t too harsh (and in all honesty, she kinda deserved it a little, lol). 

This is a must read, people!! If you haven’t started it - do it now!

Additionally, I have the pleasure of listening to the audiobooks. The narrators do a fantastic job. I love that it’s in duet. So if you’re an audiobook girlie, give this one a listen. 

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to start the next book!!

I enjoyed it quite a lot, mainly because I pictured the twins as the Ouran High School Host club twins and they are by far the best characters around.

A fun and easy read, the characters were at times a bit annoying and largely unlikable but overall they were enjoyable to read about.

In typical CM Stunich fashion, the writing leaves something to be desired. Its rather clunky in some parts and feels forced, but overall its pretty enjoyable.
As for plot, its not as cringey as some of her other books and the boys are endearing.
The dialogue that Charlotte has is witty and sarcastic and really carries the entire novel.
She makes a lot of questionable choices (but its understandable given her age, so I try to ignore it.)

My biggest issues in this book is THE MASSIVE PLOT HOLES THAT ARE NEVER EXPLAINED! (i.e. disappearing hooded men?) Hopefully we find out more in the next book.

I'm loving this why choose series! I kinda had a feeling I was going to love it because I was obsessed with Rich Boys of Burberry Prep, which is in the same world.

This is a slow burn and I mean slow burn but given the plot is understandable! Our FMC is forced to go to an all boys academy by her father who is now the new headmaster. She however does not want to be the ONLY girl student in an ALL boys academy so she hides her gender and poses as a boy herself. Can you see where the plot could get real interesting just from that?!?! But don't worry there is way more going on other than that!

This first book is definitely more about the storyline and character building but I'm so excited to see where the second book takes us. The cliffhanger was brutal and I'm so excited for the next one.
