There was a bit through the middle that felt slow to me but the ending definitely made up for it!

I devoured this book in half a day, which speaks to its gripping nature. However, the main character's unlikeable traits made it a challenging read. She slut-shames other girls and exhibits questionable behaviour, such as befriending her bully and forgiving her best friend for dating said bully. The transition from best friends to enemies to lovers felt forced, and the numerous problematic scenarios left me conflicted. Overall, I hesitate to recommend this book due to its troubling themes.
