At 18% so far chapters involving way more basketball and fighting than I’d care to read about so I started to skim. Taking the opportunity for a scholarship from someone because you can, knowing full well you won’t use it is a dick move.

Freshman boat ride into a secluded school followed by horse drawn carriages. Oooookay. Hello Gangster Hogwarts.

Finished. It picked up eventually. I’d say the last 20-30% of the book was decent.

I did not like this and refuse to revisit by cleaning up my notes. Enjoy my unfiltered thoughts.

- after 3 povs, Dean is pulling for my favorite
- as a poc, we've already had 2 references to Leo being toast and Idonlikeit.
- this is heavy on the Harry Potter but make it mafia
- there are so many moments brought up that they are cousins but not cousins.. like a lot
- They're both immature and I dont feel compelled to root for the romance
-the povs are stagggered now, so they all keep starting at the same spot in time vs picking up where the last pov took off and it feels like I'm moving forward but making no progress. For only a couple chapters. That was weird af.
- Ma'am, you literally did nothing to make it happen. No communication. And she's upset at Leo because she has no backbone?
- He literally has broken ribs and they're about to have sex? I hate it here.
- the sex scene is gag worthy. i hate it here.
I finished and my first thought was "I'm free!"
