Cringe Fest.
The writing is terrible and there's too much going on with the worldbuilding which leaves little room for a plot.
The characters are flat and painfully immature. I also just couldn't keep the twins apart.
There's so much cringey and problematic stuff in this book, including but not limited to the non-stop boundary and consent violations.

Zodiac angle seems shoe horned in. The teachers are cruel and there is little world building or justification for this

qwaak's review against another edition
I gave up very early in. I found the writing juvenile and poor and did not really understand why these 18+ year old women are going back to a high school environment.
Got bored very quickly and did not want to commit to a huge series where the writing is poor and the story is not engaging.

innitial thoughts: this is so wattpadian i love the lack of character, worldbuilding and shitty writing style. the romance is both sick AND twisted, hooray. keep up the bad work coz i’m having fun.
semi review thingy:
Now that I’ve read this series and happen to be writing this review in retrospect of that, I can confidently say that the first book is the worst in the series, or maybe I just got used to mediocrity. Fuck confidence, I’m riddled in self-doubt.
Anyway, the first book is bad in the same way the latest fast and furious is bad. It’s campy, nostalgic and should be hilarious but it’s held back by its overbearing reliance on its inspirations and ostentacious serious tone. Basically, they should have embraced the chaos it was feeding us, and be pure camp and fun. I’m not watching fast and furious to learn about the dangers of speeding, just like I’m not reading bully fat porn to learn about harassment at school and class privilege.
Also I love it when writers who don’t know the first thing about being poor write poor characters because they manage to be so offensive whilst begging you to be compassionate, and I’m eating it up. It has the same vibe as skinny cis white women going #bodypositivity on instagram because they don’t fit in Brandy Melville.
