Your typical highschool bully romance, I suppose. I wouldn't recommend it. I stopped around 70% when Cole was being awful to Swayer, again, for the one millionth time. 

The author makes Swayer go from a size 14 who's fairly happy with herself, to a size 8. Adding zero to the plot but fatphobia, I guess.

Cole is so self pitying and self destructive, you lose all sympathy for him.

Spoiler alert

Cole was vile to Liam before his death, of course it wasn't his fault but it genuinely turned my stomach how awful he was to this brother in his hour of need

It's a decently spicy, but who wants to read about 17/18 year olds getting it on? (I assumed there'd be a time jump at some point)

All in all, it's pretty problematic. I got to 80%, skimming, out of sheer willpower and had to stop there.

I actually cried a little bit because of what Sawyer was going through because of her weight!
