If you like the bad toxic side of Gossip Girl and don't have much brain cells yourself, good for you, you wil enjoy this book.

Otherwise if you are like me who can tolerate some toxicity, but requires characters to act rationally, have at least some character development, or some plot at the minimum, dont waste your time and just drop this book.

You can read the beginning, skip all the way to the end, and will not miss anything noteworthy.

I only came here as there was a youtuber (with a toxic background) who kept recommending this. Should have realised that toxic attracts toxic.

Kind of like reality tv where it’s a train wreck but you can’t look away. I’m so unwell. I’m an emotional wreck. This was messy, dramatic, toxic and I lived for it. You could really feel the emotions and hurt between them. They torture each other and come back together. It’s the only way they know how to love each other. This push and pull between them is fucked up and they know it, but they’d rather do it than not have each other. 

This book is infuriating but I also ate it up.

The two main characters were so incredibly unlikeable it made me not want to read the book. The rich privilege was frustrating and I saw myself not enjoying this book

Never met a more unattractive MC than BJ. Like I couldn’t for the life of me understand what Magnolia was trying to save
