dark funny fast-paced

4.0

For the genre and the subject matter this book delivers exactly what you'd expect from a gossip girl type novel with some spice. It has a few moments that feel really awkward pacing wise, but overall it was fun to read and it was really easy to just sit in the world of this book and not get distracted or tired of reading it.

Ok, had I known the MCs would be in high school, not sure I would’ve read it. That being said, once I got over that surprise, it was actually pretty good. I enjoyed this book a lot and found myself covering the next page so I didn’t jump ahead. I’m interested in the reading the other BUT be warned, their story does NOT END in this book. I was so bummed that I had another two books before it changed POV (in a five book series?! ughhh) but I will read it because I literally can’t not read them after the ending.

Reading this feels like watching reality television. It’s so fake but somehow you can’t stop watching. It’s just basically a wattpad fanfiction. It’s so bad in a good way? Just don’t think about it too much or you’ll find 100 things wrong with it.

Ok. I have never written a review before so I'm sorry if it's hard to understand. BUT. THIS. GODDAMN. BOOK. Mentally scarred me.
The book (and the series) is a literal Wattpad mafia mets the rich bad boy fanfiction and (as someone who used to eat that shit every day) it makes me sick to the core to know that *this* is considered ok to be published. Honestly? It would've been a *great* idea if it kept the "plot", but turned the message from "this is totally ok and not toxic" to "this behaviour is not ok, but everybody can change. Therapy and other professionals are there for you. And if they don't change, leave them. Also, *CONSENT*??? HELLO??? YOU THERE?" 
To think that this book went through so many hands before it was published and IT STILL WENT TROUGHT. If someone, anyone, girl, boy, non binary, teen, child, adult or elder reads this review, please know that this kind of behaviour is toxic, not ok and dangerous.

nikakulic's review against another edition

The main character has internalized misogyny and constantly slut shames other girls. The main love interest is a brat and mean for no apparent reason. The love interest's brother harasses the mc and the love interest laughs it off. This book was terrible but I can proudly admit that I enjoyed it because I love trashy romance book and this one is as trashy as they come. The love story was lacking but it was a fun read and it got me out of a reading slump and for that I am thankful. Have fun reading!<3
