these 3 books have honestly been such a waste of time and effort into reading them. the first one began with a good plot line, that slowly began getting more and more boring and by the second book i felt like i knew what every interaction was going to look like by dutch and cadence. dutch hated her for 2 entire books and wanted to ruin her life but then jumping straight into the 3rd one he was obsessed and couldn’t think of anything but her?

the plot in this book was hardly there, for the small portion i did read, and i had no interest in it at all. i tried to power through just to see what happened but after reading some reviews on here i dont even want to try.

the author completely forgot about time lines, all three of these books are in the space of ONE school year. it seems like she had a good idea for a story but slowly forgot the original idea and went on a tangent. cadence and viola’s whole life is about how their orphans and have to fend for themselves, but then their mum randomly comes back and it turns out she wasnt dead the whole time? why was that a plot? what did that add?

theres so many unnecessary scenes the whole book could have been wrapped up in 1 or 2, like most others have, but instead the hatred between the two mc’s is dragged out across 3 chapters and theirs maybe 3 nice interactions between them that usually end with them being nasty to each other anyway.

do not waste your time reading these, i fell into the tiktok book trap and so wish i didn’t. awful books, with no continuous storyline except hatred

It was good but then it just got a little annoying. I started skimming through closer to the end. Shit got repetitive. plus we don’t even get like a resolution frfr since it continues with the other brothers.

After the first two books I was looking forward to seeing them as a couple but there was so much petty miscommunication bullshit happening that I was just getting frustrated. Literally every problem they had could have been avoided if they talked to one another.

There was too much happening in my opinion. Plus them being in high school was just not really it for me… like stuff like this doesn’t happen in high school book or not.

Also I prefer this cover over that dude on the other two.

Also the fake dead mom thing just to turn around and have her die again…. Why? Weird. Seems pointless… I liked it better when her mom was dead the first time it was less drama on the already insane amount of drama going on. Plus like… her mom pawns the ring then just leaves all that money? No, an addict would never do that.

Dutch and Cadence may be toxic but I loved every second of
