I read this book as a challenge and to find out why 14 year old girls want to buy it in the book store I work at.
Safe to say, I am disgusted by this book.
Romantizing stalking and grape to this level should in no way be the plot of the whole book.
The female protagonist traits are: t1ts, @ss and a tight p*ss*.
The male protagonist traits don't go far beyond for his god complex, mommy iussuses and his "big d***" .
The author read consent and threw that word out the window, a red flag? If the whole book is a red flag characters like these seem morally gray dont they?
No, if she says no and he still forces himself onto her it is simply grape.
So stalking quickly devolpt into a stockholm Syndrome...typical...
"But Zade [what a frat boy name] isn't that bad, he offs the bad people."
Honey that doesn't make the grape better....or doesn't excuse any of his Action.

But if we don't look at the p0rn without plot plot, we can take a look at the writing style. Maybe its witty and clever and— don't get your hopes up....the style is...lacking style at all. It might be easy to read but it seems...simply written and the words choosen do not seem very clever...

So in conclusion: 
Not something a minor should read and only read if you have a strong stomache...
