This is a fun read for anyone looking for a cross between Mean Girls, A Cinderella Story, and an age gap romance. I there are definitely some fun nods to the movies in this book. I will say the revenge plot overshadows the romantic plot for much of the book but I still enjoyed reading it. I liked Zach he really understands Cami and is so supportive of her needs. He meets her exactly where she is at but is clear about what he wants and I wish we saw more than the brief cameos of Abbie and Damien. I definitely recommend this series and am super curious about what will happen in book 3 (and what the movie inspo will be!)
