what is this book? 

I have no idea what I just read lmao. A book about cheating, and a teacher hooking up with a 17 year old student as a fricking side plot. Come on guys we deserve better then this book. There is better out there. The author is genuinely scary for creating something like this. It’s not even romantic in a dark way it’s just stupid.  


Please please, if this book is on your tbr don’t read it. It’s a waste of time and money.

Very dark Book. The main character was such a self center spoiled brat. There were times that I absolutely hated this character. The mmc was a broody, angsty teenager, he was very flawed from his past, but I could get on board with his anger.
