I really did not like this book, I wasn’t interested until like 75% of the way through I should have just dnf’d it. The book also had some weird shit about lesbians and same sex couples as on page 42 “My eyes move back to the deck where two female undies kiss on a lounge chair by the pool while a group of guys cheer them on, holding their phones up to document.” I feel like the book cold have 100% gone without things like that. It’s just gross. Also people being hazed by having to make out with a person of the same sex just seems wrong and could have not happened in the book.

I found the ending predictable but it still didn't make sense to me. Good twists and turn and exciting.
