Ughhhh this book was so frustrating but addictive. The bullying is so cruel and I hated it, but I love when a book elicits so much emotion from the reader and I feel so angry. Can’t wait to read the next book

the only thing i can say to sum up my feelings is 🤨 this is written like wattpad, the story is arguably quite stupid, i hate most of the characters... and yet on i go to book 2?

I am confused how this book even has the rating it has. This is pure bullying and emotional abuse with limited world building. Gross. Will not be continuing.

Definitely intrigued and ready to keep doing with this series but it took me a long time to fall into the groove with this one. That may be due to being a mood reader. I’m invested now though.
