I could not be more obsessed with this book! My love story is very similar to this one so it hit home. I am floating after binging this audiobook in one day. 🤪🙌😍

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.

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!
