You might be wondering why I continued on with this series despite not really liking the first or second books. I am wondering this myself. However, I genuinely feel like reading this series is akin to not being able to look away from a car wreck.
There are many strange parts to this book, but maybe the strangest is that Allie dresses up to go to the local college bar to make Dean jealous and her outfit… it’s traumatizing to describe. It’s a blue bodycon bandage dress with FIVE INCH stiletto heels. And she isn't even the first FMC of the series to do this — all of the girls in this series wear these kinds of outfits. Now, I didn’t go to college in the Northeast. But… considering this book was written around 2016, I can almost promise you no one is wearing that outfit to the local college dive bar. It reminds me of when people used to write like One Direction fan fictions and use the Polyvore website to come up with the outfits the FMCs would wear — they all included stiletto heels. That scene in & of itself was able to give me the ick to the point where it was hard for me to finish reading.
