So I finally went ahead and read this book, it has been recommended soooo many times and it keeps popping up everywhere I look when I'm trying to find books with tropes I like... And I liked it, but I'm also a little worried.
One of the MMCs has already done something unforgivable, so curious to see how that plays out.
The writing is not the best, it feels very high school, I was really expecting a more intense well written story but instead it feels very cute trying to be edgy.
I feel like this is going to be one of those "pretending to be slow burn" books while actually just jumping from 0 to 100 when the time comes.
However, despite all of that, the actual story that's being told is amazing! I just wish it was delivered a bit better. But seeing that the rest of the series are all 500+ pages, I'm hoping the writing will improve.
