While I enjoyed reading a good majority of this book, I had to give less of a star than I was originally planning to do.
We have a typical “Breakfast Club” crew going on with the beginning of the detention scene. They are all very much stereotypical in their respectful ways. Some of which I felt was too obvious.
Although, to be fair, I felt like a good portion was very obvious on the outcome. It only had me guessing in the first few chapters, but it was easy to catch on. Which I’m kind of disappointed about. I was really hoping there would be a shocking twist, but it was just so painfully downplayed.
