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 😮‍💨📚

Okay first of all I want to say that i'm ALL for unhinged lesbians but this is clearly not written by a person who understands lesbians, some scenes just feel awful and still the worst thing to me was that ending

For some reason the author gave us the most boring and conventional ending possible and expect us to take that seriously

I overall really enjoyed this book. A lot of spice, not the most graphic but still good. The only thing I have to complain about really is the high school aged characters. Reading graphic sex between high schoolers is a bit off putting to me. But I still found it to be a very good book. Definitely one of my favorite reads this year, I flew through it.
