This book had a lot of moving elements. I loved the relationships of the MC. It gave a good perspective on how we can make poor choices or even hurt each other despite good intentions. The family and friend relationships were strong and well developed. THE BANTER. The back and forth with the rivals romance was so well done. Even some of the banter between the supporting characters worked well.
This book gave a really great look at grooming and how manipulative power dynamics can influence someone, even if they are aware something is wrong. I did think the pacing with this book was a bit off. A lot of time was spent developing the premise and relationships which was really great, but gave limited time for the wrap up so it felt a bit rushed. It also touched on elitism, higher education and the difficulty of “The American Dream”.
Overall, I think it was a solid read that I really enjoyed. I read in print and audio and I would recommend the audio over the print for this one!
