I think this book was good but I’d have never finished it if I didn’t have to read it for English. The language was incredibly difficult for me to get into the book and it took a while for there to be a plot I could get invested in. I love Kya, Jumpin’ and Mabel but I absolutely despised Chase and Tate.

all the sex and romantic scenes between Kya and the two boys were incredibly uncomfortable to read, especially when Kya was still fourteen/fifteen


I did like the ending though !
