Just awful. I hated it lmao. I don’t even know why i tried cause bullying and foul treatment literally has me shaking and crying and vomiting. I can’t it made me so sick. My hatred really runs deep when it comes to that stuff and i just HATED Jared all the way until the end. Like i really don’t care. Also fuck K.C. She was a shit friend tbh. She didn’t even have any redeeming qualities. Literally just a shit friend.

This was such an addicting story that I had a hard time puttin  it down. It was a fast read but I had a hard time believing in the main couples love story and that the bullying that happens before and during the book can be justified.

SPOILER ALERT 
I also am a little bit angry in how the last conflict in the book was handled especially that the book characters didn't highlight that it is illegal and the police should be contacted. In reality this is sexual exploitation! I had overall a hard time justifying or forgiving the characters actions for an example Maddock's actions in the beginning of the novel even though I tries to justify the sexual harassment that he does to the main character.
