The Sinner
by Kelsey Clayton
Savannah & Grayson
I’ve been trying out new romance themes and since I love enemies to lovers, I thought I’d enjoy bully romances but so far that hasn’t been the case. I think it’s because most take place either in high school or the early college years and teenagers are too immature for me. However, I liked this book a lot. The main characters were 18 but I felt like they were older based on how their life experiences and how fast they had to grow up. I believe this is probably a “bully light” book based on some of the others I’ve tried to read but I don’t like the ones that are super hateful for stupid reasons nor can I stand forced consent. At least Grayson had a legitimate reason for wanting to destroy Savannah unlike some others I’ve read lately.
First in series taking place at Haven Grace Prep School, we have Savannah and Grayson’s story. These two grew up together until Gray moved away unexpectedly breaking both their hearts. Present day we have Grayson returning to town with the goal of destroying Savannah’s life because he thinks she had a part in a nefarious plan that ruined his family. Savannah is the cheerleader captain and the most popular girl in school but is living a lie as her supposed happy life is anything but. When these two reunite after years apart, they are drawn to each other instantly but with Grayson vowing revenge and Savannah just trying to get through the day, the future looks bleak.
I liked this book because of the ongoing issue of what happened to sever their friendship. I had a few ideas going but I was way off base and I appreciated the surprise elements. My only real issue with this book was the OW drama and I get it’s a bully book and Gray was just using her to make Savi jealous but his inner thoughts clashed with his actions too much. Once him and Savi start getting together, he’s still kissing other people just imagining they were Savi but I don’t want to read about OW and the main character especially when the heroine is a virgin and he’s the only one she’s been with. Other than that, I really enjoyed this book and am curious about the rest of this series or the spin off that takes place in college.
