First book by Penelope Douglas, and I think it will be the last. Everything is this book happened so quickly! How the MC fell in love, I have no idea.

It was Hate - Sex in the span of a week than Love because they knew each other 2 years ago, which is not written about much if at all.

And then the ending was just sick...

Rival
⭐️⭐️

Lost interest and dnf’ed at 84% because I couldn’t get myself to finish it.

Their relationship is solely built on sex. They go back and forth wanting/hating each other and it gets repetitive and boring.

I knew there would be a good story with Madoc just wasn't expecting this good and shocking.  Loved that Madoc never lost his joking side of him i know that's what he did to hide his feelings. Poor Fallon to have a mother like she did i get they "shouldn't have been doing what they did " but what do you expect when you leave teenagers alone. But it was more then just teenagers begin teenagers they loved each other. They probably wouldn't have gotten Married when they did if it wasn't for his father and mother but they got their Happy ending. Just love them two as much as Tate and Jared but got to say Jax shocked me and may have won my heart cant wait to read about him.

Love all the music mentioned in these books. Also love that the author isn't afraid to bring up really difficult topics like abortions, bullying, and sex tapes. This is a great series for young adults and adults alike.
