DID NOT FINISH: 4%

It was giving very much Wattpad, which i could've lived with, but then she walks into HER dorm and this man is fucking a bitch. If they lived together in a house, maybe. BUT IT WAS HER DORM. Which means he did it on purpose, and I can't forgive that shit. 

I wanted to get to the smut because I bought a t-shirt with the scene on it, but oh well. Life is too short to read books you don't like.

 I didn't know I wanted this until I had it. If you're debating on reading this, you should. I listened to it as a audiobook and it was fucking great. This coming from someone who can have trouble listening to books depending on who's reading and especially if it's smut.

I usually have a problem with the fmc being a virgin because it's such a common unnecessary theme in a lot of books but. It was necessary in this one and they don't make it a cringe personality trait of hers.

If you have a problem with bad nicknames the way I do, I will give you notice that each male character in this book has one for her but  they're all normal and not cringe like baby girl (except for in 365 days that was cringe), baby, princess ect.

Lots of spice which I was impressed with the variety given the "no penetration" issue. I'm not usually a fan of the virgin trope but the way this was handled made it somehow more bearable... Riiiight until the cliffhanger. I'll read book two to see if that gets redeemed but I'll be quick to DNF. 

Pacing was good. Banter and overall dynamic was good. We don't really get to know our FMC outside her men (once they come along) and that's a shame.

ARC review!!
This was my first book by Katelyn and my god she knows how to write a story!!! I honestly couldn’t believe how it ends… the cliff… I’m hanging on for dear life!
Skyla moves back to Salem to attend Gallows Hill University and is thrown into a world she had no idea existed. Not only is she told she is suddenly getting married to a man she’s never met, she also falls in love with not 1, not 2 but 3 men! Liam the heartthrob, Ronan the Coach and Vincent our residential stalker and killer (who is obviously my favorite) all bring out different sides of Skyla. Then there’s Asher her soon to be husband and let’s just say you hate him then you love him and then you hate him again! I’ll be here waiting for book two until then PICK THIS UP!
