downsophialane's review against another edition
3.5
I read almost exclusively romance, I love a sequel bait friend group, but again, the future couples being set up lacked tension to such a degree that I didn't feel any anticipation for future installments, and feel no obligation to go back to read the first book.
Bad Girl Reputation really does read like the New Adult of the 2010s - that is, pretty readable but also pretty dated. The treatment of Gen's drinking just felt lazy, especially considering the increasing awareness of sober curiosity. It feels a bit out of touch to prominently feature a cop abusing his power to terrorise a young woman, without even a nod to the BLM movement. Reading this book felt like the past decade never happened.
Overall, I wouldn't actively dissaude people from picking this up, but I'd recommend Emily Henry, Talia Hibbert or Christina Lauren over this book in a heartbeat.
Moderate: Death of parent
