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.

The characters were so flat. The men are all abusers and everyone has like one character trait.

Callum: being drunk
 Reed: anger issues  (+commitment issues)
Sawyer and Sebastian: twins
Gideon: Swimming
Brooke: being Callum's girlfriend
Ella: nOt LiKe oThEr GiRLs (+obsessed with Reed)

Not only the characters are horrible but the writing is just so bad too...

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

 I'm between a 3 and a 3.5. This rating it's because even though it kept me engaged and not wanting to put it down, it's REALLY problematic for me(due to harassment, almost rape, slut shaming, sexism and male dominance). And that ending, it frustrated me but got me interested in wanting to know what happens next.
