4.0

Solid bully romance. Thought the character development was on point. The characters felt real and complex. Definitely enjoyed the writing style. Mild in the spice department, but the tension was good. Definitely had my suspicions about the situation at the end. Will be continuing this set for sure.

It’s YA novel trope bingo, folks! Get out your cards! As usual, we have traumatized teens acting like traumatized adults, a relationship rife with red flags, and a girl pursuing an emotionally unavailable guy. Add in weirdly troubling sexual sibling rivalry, the glorification of violence as foreplay, rich kids being rich kids, and over the top high school bullying - and we’ve got a clean sweep. 

I’m not going to tell you that I wasn’t glued to every page. This book is a litany of everything my empowered adult-self knows to avoid, and everything my sixteen year old self was taught to love in a book. Reading it was like watching a horrifying car crash happen and not being able to look away. Sia would be proud. #cheapthrills

A truly problematic and trashy read that if you get into it you are somehow unable to stop.. don't think I'd recommend it to anyone, and yet I'm probably gonna read the next book out of morbid curiosity..

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.
