Good read if you’re looking for a more graphic bullying sexual romance. I like how the author list content warning on the last page of the book.

There was an effort to create a BDSM atmosphere. It felt more like an off-brand Fifty Shades of Gray. Think about what you thought BDSM was in high school. Now, imagine that said high schooler writing a book about BDSM. Boring and anti-climatic.

Things I Wanted To Say (but never did) Is the first book in the Lancaster Prep series, and I absolutely adored it. It’s a dark romance with a lot of tropes I love such as bad girl/bad boy, forced proximity, dedregation etc. It also gave me major Punk 57 vibes (which is a favorite book of mine). Definitely can’t wait to read the rest of this series!
