Angsty and gritty and emotional. Enjoyed this a lot. These kids need Therapy™️ and maybe a set of better parents lmao

The best bits:
  • Kennedy does bromance so good, and this book def has that aspect I know and love from her other books.  Each guy is complex and complicated, but they’re all fearlessly loyal to one another. The banter is also 15/10 (warning for strong language tho, which for me just made it funnier)
  • Each character is fleshed out and actually interesting to read and slowly learn about. The different POVs were actually fun to read. Sometimes they frustrate you since it’s not about the main couple, but in this book I found myself looking forward to the story of each character equally. And they’re all super hot which helps too ig
  • The mystery element was surprising but done well, it’s not your average prep school forbidden romance, so that def spiced up the plot quite a bit. 
  • Lawson was probably my favourite character just cos I don’t know if I want to be him or be with him. I also just want to give him a hug. His entire role in the book was just pure chaotic energy with that good good tragic backstory to match. ‘Twas a WILD ride and the most unpredictable of all the story lines.
