At times it did kind of feel like I was reading a Wattpad novel from 9th grade. I'm not sure if that was due to the writing style or the fact it was a mafia story which tends to be more awkward/cringe for me. Regardless, I still enjoyed the plot and both the main characters and side characters. I particularly liked Rafe and Tor so I'm excited to hopefully see more of their friendship in the next book. The plot-twists were quite predictable IMO.

Tbh, I expected more from this book. The writing was cringe sometimes and the characters gave me some second-hand embarrassment in some scenes. 

The book was not terrible but definitely on the lower scale of good mafia books.
