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. 🤪🙌😍

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!

lani38's review against another edition

I freaking hated this book. How tf is he even allowed to live. He was a new level of asshole that I have every read about. He did not care at all about her and is just an asshole that gets off on degrading others?? For some reason most of Monica Murphys books have guys that act this way. Which is why I said last year that I wouldn’t read any more of her books, but when I read A Million Kisses in your Lifetime’ and actually enjoyed it, I thought, why not read this. Anyway this was probably the worst book I’ve read this year and would not recommend this to anyone. I also dnfed this at 35% because I didn’t want to torture myself any more.
Also the victim blaming in sexual assault is just not okay on any level whatsoever. How can any of the reviewers, who give this more than one star forgive this? She was literally just existing, then got attacked and apparently it’s her fault? Because of the way she dresses? I’m honestly blaming all the reviewers, who gave this anything but one stars and the author. Who still allows her to keep writing the same types of books?? Always misogynistic “alpha” guys, who love to suppress and degrade women. 
A note for Monica Murphy: are you okay? What happened in your childhood, that you keep writing this horrible view for women. 
And how tf can anyone support this, by giving it a good rating!!!!!
