i DNFed this 2 years ago so maybe it’s true what they say about distance making the heart grow fonder😭 i really liked the writing style and the book in general flows a lot better than most DR i’ve read. i’m not obsessed with the main characters but they weren’t as annoying as i expected considering the reviews. i stand by finding michael creepy tho i just find it endearing now! i think the whole motivation for the guys bullying her was kinda stupid especially with the reveal but i love OTT and ridiculous DR when it’s done well and this is a decent example of that.

Dark book, check content warning before reading. That said it was intriguing and kept my attention. I enjoyed Corrupt the most out of this series.
