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.

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.

Soooo this one is complicated... The first half was a decent 4 star reading with some problematic and stereotypical scenes but nothing really bad. Then the second half came and it was just hot garbage. It seemed like the love interest and the MC were talking two different languages because they never understood the other ones problem. The "spicy" scenes made me cringe so bad and the only thing that kept me reading was the wattpad like writing. I wanted to like it so bad but I couldn't overlook some of the problems the book has. Overall the plot was fine and could have developed great but the execution was horrible. The addictive writing, some funny jokes, Easton (personal favourite) and the first half definitely push the rating for me but it just doesn't deserve the 3 stars. If you are in a reading slump and still have interest, go for it. 
Now to the ending (spoiler free): The ending was so unneccesary. Without giving it away, they can technically start from scratch in the next book. And without any lessons to take away I ask myself: Why did they write this book? (Probably so i could write this passionately written review ;))

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.
