I really don't get the hype - I shan't be reading the rest of t series. 1. Why is the love interest basically a school boy who bully's his crush? That's not cruel, that's immature and overdone trope for a ya. 2. Why do we jump jarringly between a medieval fairy Court to Target, malls and skinny jeans? 3. Why do we have a chapter that literally just bulletpoints backstory when it literally could have just been weaved into the plot?
