This book sucked me in but it just wasn't as good as I'd heard. Gaslighting all over the place, but the final twist explained pretty much all of that. I don't think I'll read any of the sequels because I imagine I'd be furious with the main characters the entire time. Maybe once Todd finishes the graphic novels, I'll read those. The first one was good enough that I read the actual novel!

This audiobook narrator had a very poor and inconsistent English accent.

I read this book twice: once when I was 15 or 16 and once recently. When I read it, I instantly loved it and fell in love with both Hardin and Tessa. I still love this book, after so many years. It’s definitely one of my favorites, even though the writing isn’t great. Let’s be honest: the writing is probably horrible. There are so many unnecessary details at times and I’m sure if those were written off when edited, the book would be much more enjoyable and easier to read. But I understand that this was written on wattpad, so that’s why I didn’t expect much from the writing anyway.

I love the romance between Tessa and Hardin. It’s undeniably one of my favorite love stories. They have their ups and downs, they’re so different but somehow so perfect for each other.

Even though Hardin was a real prick with many issues, you just couldn’t not like him and sympathize with him. Yes, their relationship is very toxic and Hardin is basically a walking red flag, but you just can’t stop reading about their romance. I have to say that sometimes Tessa was in the wrong, it wasn’t always Hardin’s fault. But in comparison to how Hardin was behaving through the whole relationship, Tessa was an angel.

The ending had me in shock when I first read the book because for me it was quite unexpected. A major plot twist. I felt so sorry for Tessa and was so pissed at Hardin and basically everyone in that friend group (especially Steph). Very childish and cruel to do that to a person.

If the writing was better, it would be definitely be a 5⭐️ for me. But because I still love this book so much, I’m giving it a 4,5⭐️.

*Also have to mention that I was and still am a One Direction and Harry Styles fan so that’s basically the reason why I read this book. And probably the reason why I feel so attached to it*
