well… that was certainly a book. one of the biggest train wrecks i’ve ever read, but for some reason I couldn’t stop. the ridiculousness was so bad that it was entertaining. 

trying to keep track of who all this girl is sleeping with (consensually? non consensually? sometimes it was hard to tell and no I will not elaborate on that iykyk) was insane. 

there were a fuck ton of POVs. like SO MANY. I swear at least 5 or 6. and that’s something I really fucking hate tbh. It was so hard to keep track. can we also talk about how they were all HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. god. such fucking utter ridiculousness. killing people, having the dirtiest, kinkiest, roughest sex i’ve ever read. 

the smut was honestly quite fantastic. it’s so odd how sometimes these really terrible books have some of the hottest smut scenes i’ve ever read. is it because i’m depraved and dark and a little twisted? absolutely. nonetheless, YUM. 

to summarize, this book was ridiculous and hard to follow. but it was almost impossible to put it down, I was thoroughly entertained. would never be on a list of books I would recommend to anyone, but it was a wild fucking ride.
