Cheesy, try-hard dialogue from a book desperately trying to convince us that it is cool and edgy when this is a rape fantasy. A tacky and tasteless book.

simply, this book is not good. it is gross, and should not be romanticized. there is a murder mystery, enemies to lovers, and so much more that it all kind of spirals together. but i’d be lying if i said i wasn’t intrigued enough to read the second one. mostly for my powerpoint. and it gets more than 0 stars bc there were 2 quotes i liked and the age different between the characters was normal.

I wasn’t aware this book switched perspectives throughout - usually I don’t like that kind of format, but I found both perspectives kept my attention well. Both of the main characters plots stand really well by themselves outside of the “romance” as well. Lots of mixed feelings on this book, but kept me wondering what happened next regardless
