Filthy Rich Boys by C.M. Stunich
4.0
You definitely have to be in the right mood/mindset/mercury alignment to take this book as it is. And that is.. something not to take too seriously.
The first couple of ways they bullied her were infantile and escapable. The childish barbs and feeling as though personal attacks (that could’ve been avoided by simply leaving the room) are the end of the world, refocuses the reader’s attention on a factor we’ve tried to forget in exchange for wondering WTDD (what them d**ks do).
They’re fifteen! One. Five. Fifteen years old.
On top of that big yikes, the only special thing about the main character is that she’s new, and therefore, the only girl they haven’t yet desecrated with their FIFTEEN year old bodies.
It also doesn’t hurt her chances that the only other girl at the school who isn’t evil incarnate is off limits to the guys for multiple reasons, including the fact that it would be incest for one of them.
So, of course, they’re all drawn to the new girl who literally lives ON the wrong side of the tracks (in an actual train car).
But, whatever. Some books work best if you turn your brain off, strip yourself of disbelief, and hang it on a hook by all the books that infer discernment. There were multiple times that I thought this could be a good movie or TV show, and that entertainment factor alone gave it the extra stars it deserves.
The prologue did give away the ending unnecessarily, but it also added tension paired with the knowledge that everything going well would be temporary. But that is a concept we are all familiar with because of, you know, life. I’ll be skipping the future prologues, as the first page of the second book already gave away more than it should’ve.
