dark funny fast-paced

4.0

For the genre and the subject matter this book delivers exactly what you'd expect from a gossip girl type novel with some spice. It has a few moments that feel really awkward pacing wise, but overall it was fun to read and it was really easy to just sit in the world of this book and not get distracted or tired of reading it.

Solid bully romance. Thought the character development was on point. The characters felt real and complex. Definitely enjoyed the writing style. Mild in the spice department, but the tension was good. Definitely had my suspicions about the situation at the end. Will be continuing this set for sure.

A truly problematic and trashy read that if you get into it you are somehow unable to stop.. don't think I'd recommend it to anyone, and yet I'm probably gonna read the next book out of morbid curiosity..

Reading this feels like watching reality television. It’s so fake but somehow you can’t stop watching. It’s just basically a wattpad fanfiction. It’s so bad in a good way? Just don’t think about it too much or you’ll find 100 things wrong with it.

Nicht der beste Schreibstil oder die kreativste Geschichte, aber für mich zu dem Zeitpunkt passend und mit einigen unerwarteten Twists - aber auch voller Klischees. Dennoch schön zum Träumen!
