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 😮‍💨📚
