I cringe every time the two siblings interact, I am convinced both authors are only children.

It feels like all the characters talk or think about is how hot everyone is. 

There is an element of the writing style that feels like a wattpad book, that might be with how the characters speak or that scarlet adds little quips and answers questions that are completely irrelevant and I don't care about. 

I was so looking forward to this book after seeing only positives about it and I like the concept and the idea of the characters but I dislike the execution. 

I think had I read this at 14 I might have enjoyed it, but I am not and I didn't.
