Interesting premise but I hate the non consensual touching

I feel conflicted (like literally everyone who picked this book up 😭). 

I wanted a crazy-ass read and that’s exactly what this was. Half the time I was going like “huh?” And the other time I was going like “fuck.” 

For anyone who is curious about this book and is like I want to pick it up! Literally go into this with NO expectations. Everything is crazily unhinged and WILD. 

The writing style, world building, and characters are quite something! 😀

There was this one scene where one of the Twins was being asked about her ethnicity and she goes, “Our Latina looks had served us more than one occasion like this.”

I fr had to pause and ask myself, “FR?”

I swear they seem like twins that would identify as “spicy Latinas” and to that I say: 

“Mi gente Latino ✊” (ikyk). 

I don’t trust a single character in this series.

Not Orion and ESPECIALLY none of the heir boys. They’re spoiled brats that need to be kicked down SEVERAL notches. 

Also wtf is up with the lack of consent? These girls were not only being bullied BUT experiencing different forms of SA & Sexual Harassment. 

I swear to god, I had the urge to call the authorities over the lack of consent. Like grown ass professors TOO were assaulting people. And everyone just acted like it was normal, like HELLO??? 

I will continue reading since I truly am a chismosa at heart.

 It is just worse Boys over Flowers and I fucking hate Boys over Flowers with an undying passion.

I knew I was going to hate this before I read it. I only read it because I promised a friend I would read it as it is a favourite. There is no way I will ever forgive any of the men in this book for the amount of assault committed.
