What I like:
- - childhood friends to enemies to lovers
- - it's full of angst!
- - secret pining
- - prolly one of the most likable female lead I ever read this year. Why? Oh, gosh, she can fight back to Jared's bullying. And the part where she chose to be vulnerable through her monologue? It was so good.
- - steamy scenes.
What I didn't like:
- - romanticized bullying. I like this story, but (for me) severe bullying is not good, or hot. It should never be romanticized.
- - Jared's reason. You can say it's valid, but—I DIDN'T GET IT. It's hard for me to sink that down in my mind.
- - the scandal. Oh. My. Fucking. Gosh. It was utterly unnessescary, and how fast Tate forgive Jared?! It was a big nu-uh.
Overall, I still liked this one. I'm excited to read the 1.5 book of this is Jared's POV! <3

Some scenes with non-consensual touches and mentions of r*pe. Someone says the D slur.
