Really not great writing but now I'm invested. Really just hoping the authors learn the proper use of I vs. me in the subsequent books.

It was clear the book wasn't meant to be serious at all times. The Author's aren't afraid to make obvious jokes but nonetheless the book should come with some serious trigger warnings.
I wasn't aware going into the book that it contained outlandish levels of bullying. Like to the point where it's hard for me to find any redeemable qualities in the perpetrators. Consent is near non existent in the books to a level that it is borderline worthy of a dark romance tag. And the characters themselves are very trope heavy.

That being said. It was still a fun read. The concept of the astrology based school was interesting, and I am definitely going to read book 2. I am just crossing my fingers that there is a love interest who isn't a total jerk, or we at least get a deeper glance behind the veil to learn why they are being that obnoxiously cruel.

Rating: 4/5 stars

While in the end I did enjoy this book, it did take me a minute to really get into it. I struggled with sympathizing with the sisters at first, as they were so focused on themselves they didn't take until consideration what them being found and brought to Zodiac meant for the boys and their futures. But as the story moved forward it became easier to empathize with their situation, while also enjoying the plot and twist and turns the authors threw in. I have seven other books to read this month but then I will for sure be continuing this series.

2014 wattpad vibes. The main characters are the most special girls in the whole wide world, and all of the men they interact with need to be put on a list somewhere.  A much more entertaining read when it’s not taken seriously

It was a nice and quick read that I did enjoy. I do think it started a little fast and there wasn’t a ton of buildup to the school. 

The main characters are lovable, but they need to stop being as gullible. That made parts of it hard to get through. Overall, a fun read and the ending murder did surprise me.
