Alright, so I’m not sure. This book made me question lots of things, like is Adam even that bad? Warner, what are you doing, Buddy? (Love you though, Warner.) This entire book was slow in my opinion. I will be continuing because I’m intrigued.

I love all of Ali Hazelwood’s men. They are so caring, and so kind. So damn near perfect. I will forever love them. Ten out of ten. A billion actually, a billion out of ten.

Elsie-Don’t worry girl, I’m right here with you. I have trouble not being a people pleaser, and not exploding at people when I do too much for them. Elsie, is so nice, and very much above medium. I say this because all women are above normalcy. Elsie is also so real for hating on being a professor. I understand that it gets soooo dumb. Like honestly. See what I did?

Jack- I love him. Like actually full on, he had my heart and soul and my body, my brain. Y’all get the point. He is so perfect for Elsie. He is also so brilliant. Like writing that article at seventeen? It takes me forever to actually work on my own book. Jack, is. An. Icon. Like he doesn’t completely put Elsie above his own needs which is perfect.(I would italicize that btw.) 
Overall, I am a huge supporter of Ali Hazelwood at the currant moment. But a believer of Ali Hazelwood men.

I don’t like any of this. I don’t enjoy the fact everyone betrayed everyone, I find it unrealistic and unnecessary. Mind you, i mean no, absolutely, no hate to Alex Aster. I think she’s a great writer. I just don’t like this one. Isla annoyed me soooooo much. And Oro…I can’t with him. I just can’t, I’m barely holding onto a Grim ideal plan. Barely, I don’t agree with any of them. Like at all, I under the appeal, sure, but not enough to tolerate these lies. Do not tell me Oro did not lie, he indirectly lied. I will continue the series, only so I can see if I can find the second better than the first. Fingers crossed though.

I’m in love with Adam. No one can convince be he’s bad, or rude. I don’t care. I love Adam Carlsen. I especially love when he outed himself when yelling at Tom. I swooned for a sec there. I adore Olive too. She’s like such a real main character. Cause school is stressful, and Ali Hazelwood did a banger job on the anxiety for Olive. It actually feels real. I love them, I adore them. I also love the fact that I knew what Olive said at the end, if you know what I mean. The Dutch….😍

Not gonna lie, this book was pretty decent. A solid four. My fav part is definitely when Lucie drops her tray of food, cause like I grew up in a fast food restaurant and I always found it funny when people slipped up a little. This entire book, in my opinion, is decent. But it definitely has an original spin to it.

I’m gonna cry again. Because like, this was so damn sweet, and it was so damn sad. I bawled when the second reference of Dr. Seuss came up, please tell me I’m not the only one. I technically finished this book hours ago, but I now finally got to it through tears. This is so, so sad.

I’m gonna be honest, this book is for pure entertainment. That’s it. I annoy the goofiness though, and I love the characters, besides Max. No one can convince me to like him. Anyway, I adore Orion’s grumpy attitude. It’s admirable to all these crazy students, it’s also a good contrast to the adolescent behavior. But overall, this book & series is getting pretty good.

Let me just say, I hate everyone. Also, the ending bonus chapter was wild. I laughed the entire time. I cannot take this book seriously, but please do not take my opinion to heart yet until I’ve read at least the first three. But overall this book was most definitely goofy and a funny read.

These books need to stop being cute. Like, I feel too single at the moment.

Sloane- She is a fucking icon queen and librarian. I love her entire personality, also I adore the fact that she actually reads. I love that. I also love her cat, gotta love grumpy cats.

Lucian- marry me? Sorry, not. He is so freaking hot. Inside and hot, but mostly in. Like he is a tender soul, and yes, he does have one! Anyway, I love how he groveled for our girl in the end. It was memorable. 

Overall- I love the book, and I wish there were more. Like maybe even a novella of the entire group again.

Let me just say this book was very unconventional. Or at least it started out like that. 

Lina- Boss queen. Overcoming her fears and living on the edge half the time is so iconic. I also like how factual her heart problem is, like that kinda is permanent. It’s like kinda accurate which I like. Furthermore, this woman is a hot headed queen who I want to besties with.

Nash- marry me? Sorry. But this man is so damn sweet, like why are all the Morgan brothers so hot so far?! It’s not fair! (⚠️Slight spoilers!!!!⚠️)Another thing, Nash, please tell me you properly understand the difference between murdering someone and actually solving your problems!

Overall the book was decent, I kinda zoned out half of it though. But it was decentish.
