Oh My God!!!! The Wildflower you had me on the damn edge of my seat the entire time!!!! You have to read The Wallflower before you start The Wildflower so you know exactly what happening. At the start of The Wildflower you have all sorts of questions. Who’s her brother? Is Bel ok? What about her mom? But by the end you are questioning a whole lot more, whose parents are who? Who’s this rando relative? Does Sebastian like Bel’s friend? And just like you would expect from J.L. Beck the spice in this book is scorching hot. Drew is just as crazy and unhinged as he was in The Wallflower, but Bel is not talking any of his BS this time around.  The absolute twists in this book had me shook! I did not see that ending coming at all, buts that’s the way I like it. Don’t forget to read the epilogue and bonus epilogue there is some excellent spice in there! I can’t wait to see what the next Oakmont Elite book has in store.
