4⭐️ Read if you’re interested in: “Gossip Girl” meets British high society on crack with a touch of English gangs
First of all, my god that was messy (not the book itself, but the characters). It was painful — mind you, a good kind of painful — to watch the characters fight and f**k each other over like that. Like watching a car crash unfold in slow motion. I will say, I predicted the fallout and who was involved, but the drama and constant back and forth had me very invested. At times it did feel repetitive, I don’t think I would’ve stuck around for all the bs if I was in their friend group, but that’s probably what made it so good. My mind struggles to wrap itself around the idea of loving someone so intensely and wholly that being hurt like that for years is forgivable (of course until it’s not). But a very good read, I’m extremely invested in the rest of the story and am starting “Daisy Haites” immediately.
