I could have finished this book in a day if I didn’t have a job… it was that good. this book was a surprise for me, I wasn’t dreading reading Madoc’s book but I also didn’t know what to expect either.
Fallon & Madoc were a hot mess express in every aspect of their relationship. their banter & chemistry were great but I also wanted to throw my kindle across the room with all the back & forth. 
the ending did feel a little rushed but also I was ready to be done with Fallon’s mom and her story so I’m not complaining one bit.

I was so excited for this book and it was so disappointing. 


When I was reading Bully I was soooo excited to see that Madoc was getting a book and that the FMC was a badass skater. I should not have had that high of expectations. I don't know if I'm growing out of Penelope's writing, or if it just wasn't good. But this book wasn't it. Now don't get me wrong, I didn't absolutely hate it and I read it fairly quickly but it was so mediocre.
