I wasn't aware going into the book that it contained outlandish levels of bullying. Like to the point where it's hard for me to find any redeemable qualities in the perpetrators. Consent is near non existent in the books to a level that it is borderline worthy of a dark romance tag. And the characters themselves are very trope heavy.
That being said. It was still a fun read. The concept of the astrology based school was interesting, and I am definitely going to read book 2. I am just crossing my fingers that there is a love interest who isn't a total jerk, or we at least get a deeper glance behind the veil to learn why they are being that obnoxiously cruel.

While in the end I did enjoy this book, it did take me a minute to really get into it. I struggled with sympathizing with the sisters at first, as they were so focused on themselves they didn't take until consideration what them being found and brought to Zodiac meant for the boys and their futures. But as the story moved forward it became easier to empathize with their situation, while also enjoying the plot and twist and turns the authors threw in. I have seven other books to read this month but then I will for sure be continuing this series.

The book focuses heavily on non-consensual acts that, while not explicitly sexual, still have sexual connotations. These things are considered not only acceptable within the context of the story, but also “exciting” to the POV charactersashleynp24's review against another edition

The main characters are lovable, but they need to stop being as gullible. That made parts of it hard to get through. Overall, a fun read and the ending murder did surprise me.

The writing is terrible and there's too much going on with the worldbuilding which leaves little room for a plot.
The characters are flat and painfully immature. I also just couldn't keep the twins apart.
There's so much cringey and problematic stuff in this book, including but not limited to the non-stop boundary and consent violations.
