I know this is an enemies to lovers and I gave it a chance, I just can’t see how anyone would date someone who tortured their lives for years on end for the sake of “jealousy/love”.

Ppl, more specifically teenagers off themselves BC OF bullying.

putting that aside, I didn’t enjoy KC dating the guy that was bullying her best friend?? no one in the book has any morals…

also giving up her body to someone that was abusing her mentally…mmkay

this story feels like it was written by a lovesick teenager on WP, which I guess could be the point???

Taboo subjects, but actually well written and character development is strong.

Soo let’s be real here. If this was real life, no way Tate would’ve forgiven Jared, and if she did, I’d consider it Stockholm Syndrome.

But I will admit it, I gobbled up this book like it was my last meal.

I’m a sucker for love-hate tropes.

I love Penelope’s writing style, and that may be partly why I devoured this book.

Some of the passages in the book were so amazingly written and clever.

Character development in this book is top notch. I loved the way Tate went from someone who could never stand her ground, someone who would run away, and to someone who stood up for herself and fought back. As cringe as it sounds, it was kind of inspiring lol.

I found that the characters were surprisingly lovable, despite all their flaws.

My personal favorite character must be Madoc.

Is you are a tension girlie you NEED to read this NOW. I reread this almost all the time it’s so good. A little hard to get into at first but once the drama starts kicking in you’re immediately hooked. The tension will give you butterflies and the sx scenes will leave you floored. Lowk had orgasm reading this book lol and absolutely loved the storyline.
