How to describe this book?? it’s so flawed and needs serious editing. The writing is patchy and the twins voices are so similar I forget who is talking half the time. Also the bullying is INTENSE and not enough is done to explain why they are acting in this way. HOWEVER, the last 10% it shifts into a totally different gear and it has become the most addictive thing I’ve read in ages- I’ve literally read the first 3 books in the past week. So if you’re looking for some escapist trash (I mean that in the most affectionate way possible) and aren’t triggered by bully romance - power through the first book it’s worth it for the rest of the series!

It’s like reading the Winx saga meets Riverdale.
