 Cute :) I liked this a lot, even though its over 500 pages I finished it in less than 24 hours even though I should really get started on that essay due in 3 days. I found it (for the most part) very gripping - it was rare I wanted to put the book down. However, I wasn't super fond of the way it was written, especially towards the beginning, where it was mainly just detailing past exploits. I had to check multiple times that I was reading the first book in the series because it felt like the opening of a sequel which feels the need to explain everything that happened in the last 5 books in case you forgot. There were definitely a lot of times I was frustrated because I just wanted to find out what was happening in the moment, rather than 2-3 years ago - this lessened (mostly) the more the book went on though, to a manageable amount by the 40-50% mark.

Baz is great, love him, would die for him and all of that. Penelope? Also fantastic. Love her. What an angel. Agatha stayed along for too long, and every time her POV came up I was like :/ but she's fine I guess. The ending kinda felt like a stone in my stomach, but I'm hoping that gets resolved in the next book which, by reading the blurb, it sounds like it will. Looking forward to it, although a little worried about the reviews.

I enjoyed the middle of this book like it was a fucking five star read,  it definitely wasn’t that but, regardless the middle was extraordinarily entertaining and the romance was, subjectively, one of the best “enemies” to lovers I’ve read. Unfortunately, you have to suffer through the first 150ish pages first. And that sucked a lot, I was very close to dnfing. The ending also wasn’t the greatest for me but I think that’s because I predicted 2/3 of the plot twists. And I can’t even feel good about that because it was so blatant. Also, I hated when I had to read from Agathas POV. I’m not sure why I loathed it so much but I truly did. Anyway, it was another ya romance that got me giggling and shit so do with that what you will. Bro this book is like the selection, it’s kinda trash but I like it?

I'm afraid I didn't enjoy this book. The plot wasn't as much a problem as the main character was.
First I didn't find anything charming in the fact that he apparently harassed his room mate for years on the assumption that he was evil and only deserved death.
Most importantly I found his thoughts regarding his (ex) girlfriend  entirely disturbing: after stating that he wasn't sure they were a good fit together anyway, he spins into a completely toxic behaviour when /she/ seems to want to break up. "She can't reject me", "She can't reject me for /him/", "He can't have her", "Maybe she isn't in her right mind if she rejects me", and last but not least, "I'll kill that guy and this way he won't have her."
There isn't a moment in the book that criticises the character's behaviour in this chapter in any way. What the hell?
