Delicious. Salacious. Gossip girl s1 but romance. 

I love a good outsider becomes king story and RJ is a great character to read about. I really love that the deliquent prep school environment allows RJ to find a fast group of friends without losing any of the tropes of an enemy that makes this kind of plot such a winner for me.

Adult/minor relationship:

A side character is very graphically but overall briefly shown seducing two teachers. He's technically 18, but the power imbalance is still present, and he is depicted as actively seeking the relationship due to his own issues.

This was an interesting read.  
While I did enjoy the underlying plot of the book, I was shocked and a bit disappointed in the ending as I didn’t see it coming nor that character being the cause which felt a bit betraying. 

Overall the way in which this book was romance was just too overly sexual for me and I wasn’t a fan of the openly detailed scenes, as they felt a bit too much and wattpad-esque. 

I guess it’s a good rec for those who like dark romance but it’s not for me at all.

It was a fun, dramatic time.
