I loved this. 

I feel like I knew what was going to happen and then it wouldn't be that. and there were things that I was like "I feel like this person or thing is going to be important" and then I would be like "oh nvm, maybe it's not" AND THEN IT WOULD BE. and there were parts where I couldn't even put the book down because it got so interesting. I think this was a really good book.

I'm also low-key in love with Grayson and Jameson (and pretty much all the Hawthorne brothers but specially Grayson hehe).

I loved Avery although I do think she wasn't that good of a friend (specially to Max) through a lot of the book but I have a feeling she's gonna get better.

and I also think the grandfather of the boys was a lil creepy and weird lmao but that didn't affect my experience with this book at all. 

ALSO THAT ENDING?????

can't wait to read the rest of the series.

4.75 in terms of plot and whatnot but a full 5 for how much of a good time I had. This is some good kush. Reminds me of being a teenager again.

Okay so I unabashedly loved this. Yes, it was predictable and yeah, I figured out most of the clues and twists before they happened, but also? Just a fun read I couldn’t wait to pick up every evening.

Wat een lekker verhaal. Het is heerlijk geschreven (en vertaald), met een continue opbouw in spanning. Op het einde nog een cliffhanger waardoor ik meteen door wil lezen.
Enige minpuntje was dat de love triangle een beetje onnodig was.
