Read this book because of a snippet off of tiktok and it ended up being borderline a type of book I wouldn't read but was quite enjoyable. The author gave a lot of heart and development to the characters. I don't love that they are in high school and I don't love that it was close to a bully romance but technically was not one.
The story deals heavily with S/A and I think it is well done. Overall this book was much more than it seemed.
