Okay, all I can say about this book is Wow! Like, actually! It did have far more language than I like (87 cuss words including hell, b**ch, ass, damn, d**k, and a few references to the middle finger- + multiple uses of omg)... but man it was a really interesting ride.
Something a appreciated was that it was not dirty (except for a joking reference to getting "laid"), but still had romance. Prayerfully the next book is that way too bc after that ending I really wanna read it!
Honestly, my favorite character was either Noelia (towards the end) or Mylo (dude made me laugh so freaking hard the whole book).
I can honestly say that if you do read this, you shall be thoroughly entertained.
Another thing I didn't like was the couple of references to Lgbta couples or sexualities... but I was able to look past that because it was an under-toned part (Ross' mom having some sexuality that is not explained, Mylo saying "last time a guy looked at me like that I got laid", and mention of a kid having two moms).
I don't recommend reading the description of the next book until you finish this one though... that's all l'm saying. I made that mistake (it still didn't prepare me for what happened).
