Not what I was expecting but was good nonetheless. 

I found this book on TikTok and they made it seem like this was a super dark and scary bully romance. I’m not sure if I’m just desensitized at this point but it wasn’t that dark to me. It definitely is a bully romance though through and through. 

Some parts were super cringy but you get used to it after a while. I wasn’t aware that this was a series before I picked it up. Not 100% sure I’ll continue it. The side characters haven’t pulled me in enough.
