read this book in basically a day, i couldn’t stop. extremely wattpad coded but i’m a slut for a toxic enemies to lovers romance (like so toxic i’m starting to question my sanity). definitely felt like it was all over the place but in the end, i got the ending i was hoping for. i was left satisfied. anyways i will be dreaming of clay collins for the next 3 months

It should be illegal to put an 18+ warning on a book that revolves around teenage characters. It should also be illegal to write a threesome that features two adult brothers and a teenage girl. Also this is definitely Riverdale fan fiction.

Let me start by saying I'm a pretty big fan of Penelope Douglas. While I did thoroughly enjoy this book, I just didn’t enjoy it as much as some of her others! 

I had a really hard time empathizing with the “bully” character in this bully romance. I do think Douglas did a great job illustrating some very real conflicts certain communities face and I loved that she did that! 

Overall, it was a nice journey of self discovery. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

As always, check your trigger warnings before reading. 

Happy Reading 😮‍💨📚
