Wow, I flew through The Plan. It also doesn't hurt that they are pretty short books either.
Okay, so I was sooooo excited to dive into this book. Especially after reading The Orientation. In it, you will meet Zela, who is pretending to be a boy name Zeke at this school. Yeah, she is still trying to convince her mom that this is research for her book but that's a bunch of bull. I mean yeah, this whole battle system at this school is beyond ridiculous. Yet, I ate it all up and I can't wait to dive into the next book of this series.
Honestly, the entire time I was devouring this book I kept waiting for her identity to be found out. It was bound to happen and I was freaking prepared for it all. These guys are gunning for her and they are such assholes with their silver spoons shoved up their assholes. When they started to get closer to her.. I just didn't see it going well. Yeah, they might be developing feelings or creating rock solid friendships with him but the day they find out he's a she - shit will hit the fan.
I couldn't wait!
In the end, it happened and I need the next book to see what the hell is going to happen next.

Here we go
I’m normally not one for slow burns but I have to say I’m really enjoying this series! Because it’s a slow burn, we’ve had a full book plus the prequel to really see the friendships and “brotherhood” form. We’ve found allies and enemies. Now, I’m ready to see what happens next. Zelas secret is out, but only to a select few. And she’s coming back next year with revenge on her mind. We still haven’t found out her true reason for posing as a boy to get close to Derek but I have my suspicions. Off to next boy I go

3.5 I did not enjoy this book for the love interest. I read it for Zela and the school. Didn’t really understood why the boys agree to help her but they did. Ending felt rush and wack. However another consuming book that a read in one sitting. Excited for the next one.

The Plan is the second book in the Breakbattle Academy series. We follow the story of "Zeke/Zela" as she navigates her first year at the academy. We follow Zeke/Zela as she goes through her first year at public school after being home schooled her whole life, and living with her mom.
I love Ruby Vincent and the book writes. We are kept on our toes every step of the way with lots of questions, and mystery. The queen of slow burn definitly keeps things on edge. There is a question of just who are the love interests. I love that those aren't always known right away.
Also, pay attention to who Adam's parents are..... hint hint. :)

Totally enjoying this series. In this book it kept you reading to see what was going to happen next. Will the elites crush Zeke? Will the system get shut down? You won’t know if you don’t read it. The characters are more developed and more intriguing and I cannot wait to see what happens in the next book. My eyes are blurry as hell for reading so much and I don’t even care.

How the mighty have fallen. Zee went from being tapped for the exclusive Elite ranking to walking the halls of the F ranking class with her best friend. Lucky she has Adam because having to deal with the severe lack of privileges and the dumbed down education of the Fs she would have gone crazy. Eventually, even while having been sequestered to the F class the Elites are still out for revenge. They want to make her suffer for betraying them and Zee takes it at first. The Elites start battling her knowing she has no hope of winning to steal what meager possessions she has to her name. Eventually Zee can't take it anymore and she starts studying harder and practicing longer so she can start winning her possessions back. But that is not her ultimate goal. However, her ultimate goal may push the Elites too far and they may retaliate in the worst ways possible. Can Zee stay strong?
If it was possible I liked this book even less than the other. I kept waiting for the heat. The marketing for the series was a Bully High School Reverse Harem. I saw the Bully. I saw the High School. I see no Reverse Harem. I mean, I could see the making of one but the book was so focused on that battle system and harping on how it worked and how Zee was going to manipulate it to get what she wants, it got tedious. The Bullying didn't even come from the potential love interests like most Bully Reverse Harems tend to be. It was from an outside antagonist. This installment really put the romance on the back burner and made it hard to continue reading. There was just soul to the book. If someone read this book without the prequel they'd have no idea what was going on. That's not really good for a first book the series.
That being said, I was very weirded out by Zee's obsession with Derek. I had no idea why she was hot to trot for him other than him being hot. They waffled between affection and almost a familial bond which made it very unclear whether he was going to potentially be a part of the harem later down the road or if he was gonna be a best friend and Adam would become the love interest. I guess that was good to keep readers guessing but...
The Plan should not be read without reading Orientation Week first or the battle system will be completely confusing. Unfortunately, it was more about plot points and less about the romance genre we all want.
