2.0

could’ve been shorter. this is my first penelope douglas book and i started the series mainly for damon torrance’s book. but ig i’m disappointed in this one because 
1) i don’t get why people go crazy for these vindictive college boys.
2) damon, i want to like you and you’re the main reason i started this series, but why tf you acting like a fucking rabid dog
3) the fmc has a mentality of a little kid with personality issues. one time she’d be like “why does he hate me” and then “oh fuck him i don’t want to play for his game anymore” and then “can’t he just love me back please” the various times she can’t even sense danger alone is concerning
4) the mmc has chronic communication issues. next time learn to fix your shit without your friends help dude. mf for real cannot talk with the fmc without manhandling her
5) again, i still don’t get the four horsemen trend. i thought it’d be like royal elite’s four horsemen and i was SO excited. disappointing but i’ll continue the book for damon’s sake. let’s hope he fucking grows and stop acting like a silly big ohsointimidating bitch
