The last 20% of this book was somewhat enjoyable for me. Outside of that I kept reading because I wanted to know what the heck happened and what everyone in the book was referring to. This is definitely a mysterious plot as it keeps you guessing, however the romance is in the last ~100 pages. Up until that point there is a ton of bulllying which is not my jam. The writing was okay, at times it reminded me of my days reading Wattpad when I was younger.  

If you're a fan of enemies to lovers (ish) and hardcore bully romance then this book is for you. Assuming all books in this series are similar I will not be continuing. However, I still plan on reading other works by this author.
