One of the cutest books i ever read. AND THIS, IT'S JUST AMAZING HOW THE AUTHOR MADE THE CHARACTERS AND THEIR DYNAMIC IS SO SO LOVELY I LOVE THEM I MARKED THIS BOOK I A LOT WITH ALL MY THOUGHTS

The end was just what i wanted and more. Freaking adorable those two. It was pretty satisfying read a Bad × Good boys romance. <3

This is a great book if you just want some trashy entertainment without wanting to think too much.

I have so much love for this book. You think one thing is going to happen, then the story goes in a direction that you didn’t see coming.

The characters are all likable and relatable, and I found myself rooting for everyone, even the “Bad.”

I hope to see Cale Dietrich write more books!

GAYYYYYYY (Real review below)








---------------------------------
This book was pretty awful, not gonna lie. I get authors are trying to get out there and incorporate more PoC and LGBTQ+ and various other characters, but this is not the way to do it. There's an interesting set-up with the idea of Love Interests, but we never hear anything about it. There's no history about it, no backstory to Caden, not even a future reference about it. It's like they ignored what should've been the main purpose of the story and just hit the gay button. The Dylan and Caden relationship had no development whatsoever like they're just making out one day. They really needed more character development. And every gay cliche is thrown in as well like the "I need to practice kissing so we should kiss just for practice." I was laughing at how awful this relationship was by the end. The only kudos I give to this is Juliet. I thought she was going to be some petty, annoying girl but she's a cool science nerd and we don't get enough science girls in YA novels. So yeah this book was pretty trash and not even the gay could save it.

Well that was disappointing. I feel like it had some potential, but, unfortunately, the execution fell short: flat characters, cringeworthy dialogue, abysmal action. Not impressive, to say the least.

Yeaaaaaaahhhhh, issa no from me.

Why can we not have multiple POVs? It could've been sooooo much better if it did. Characters: 1-D and honestly just didn't care for them. Book was very meta and making fun of YA tropes -think A Cabin in the Woods but not executed as well- but it didn't really make it enjoyable. I was so bored reading this and I'm so disappointed because the synopsis for this sounds great! It seems I'm not in the minority though... This is clearly a love it or hate it book. I personally just... yeah no. I'll pass on this.

This had SO much potential. I honestly loved the story and the plot, but the ending seemed so rushed. The ending could've been better. The characters could've been more dynamic and well-written (I guess Caden and Juliet would be my favorites).

I hoped at the first chapters. It got me hooked and it surprised me more and more, but you know what? The ending killed me. It could have gone in so many different ways, but it had to be like that. It could have been much broader. Caden would have been much more amazing. Everyone had the potential to be memorable or important.

It had a good start, but it became so predictable at the end.
