Definitely a slow burn and then a cliffhanger. I cant decide if i love or hate West, so holding my judgements until next book. 
It did feel like a lot happened in 2 months of a school year tho

I really enjoyed this book and it was a great start to a new series. I loved the GG vibe it has going on. I was not expecting that ending and I have a few ideas of who could have set it up. With that being said, I am excited to see what happens in book 2, Never His Girl.

BULLY ROMANCE WITH A MYSTERY PLOT

so you know, i just love this whole NA enemies to lover trope, and this is first book in the series. let me tell you this was a hot read!!!



i was hooked and sole from the first chapter, and i can sprout 1000 reasons for it but i will state the most obvious one, i just loved the way it opened.

THIS BOOK BRINGS TWO CHARACTERS FROM THE OPPOSITE SIDES OF LIFE AND TRACKS, BLUE & WEST, THE GOLDEN BOY. WEST FINDS SOME *STUFF* WHICH MAKES BLUE THE TARGET OF HIS WRATH BUT BLUE IS NOT YOUR TAKE IT IN YOUR STRIDE KIND OF GIRL, SHE HERSELF HAS LOTS OF SECRETS AND BURDEN & NOT EVEN A PINT OF WHAT WEST THINKS HE KNOWS.

this book is told in dual pov plus the gossip girl-esque social media posts which unravel secrets and adds to the whole mysterious and yet out there in open spices things up!



and the cliffhanger with what west did to blue really left me shocked and i am eagerly waiting to see blue give it back 10x times more in the next book!!!

I absolutely LOVED this book. It kept me on my toes and was explained so well. The story flowed perfectly! These authors have earned another fan today

I stayed up all night reading this. v good.
