I mean, we all know these books aren’t masterpieces when it comes to writing. The plot left a lot to be desired and obviously the whole thing was toxic as hell. 💀
But I can’t lie, I was hooked. Read it over 2 evenings, I didn’t want to go to sleep. This has been rarity for me the last couple of years so it was clearly the drama I needed. 🤌🏻
Such an easy read, football bully romance, not particularly spicy but it was one of her early books. I’ll be reading the next one and already have my eyes on the other Lorraine series’. 💖

Thorn was my first book by Tracy Lorraine and definitely won’t be my last.
Jake is the kind of bully you can't help but fall for, the more you get to know him. With his POV you could get to know the person behind the mask, the hurt and uncertainty he was hiding and the urge to play the role he created for himself. As usual (with almost every bully romance I've read), the reason for his hate for the the heroine is kind of stupid. But Jake kind of redeemed himself, realizing his mistake (with more than one nudge from his best friend Mason).
Amalie's story is heartbreaking. I can't imagine going through such a loss and at the same time to get uprooted from the place you grew up in. Starting somewhere new while grieving must be hard and requires lost of strength. Specially when you encounter a bully that seems to hate you for no obvious reason. I love that she pulled herself together with the right nudges of her friend Camila and Jakes best friend Mason, and stood up to Jake. No matter what he threw at her.
Jake and Amalie for sure have chemistry and I loved their moments together at the times when Jake allowed himself to really feel.
And even though I couldn’t put this one down, there is just an overall feeling that this book didn't reach it's full potential. For sure I'll continue this series some time, because I really need to know Camila and Mason's story.
