i’ve been waiting to read this for a long time and i’m so happy i finally have! i really enjoyed this, even though my preferred genre is dark romance lol. i have soooo many questions, which i’m assuming will be answered in the next book that i am about to start as soon as i submit this review. my most pressing questions involve what really happened the night of new year’s eve with blake and cleo. i don’t think blake is in the wrong, but my guess as to what happened could be off.

I love Huang and was excited to read this series after reading Twisted. I think this book was well done, similar to how the Twisted series was written. I am excited to listen to the others in the series, as I was not elated with the ending of this one.

Blake when I catch you, when I catch you Blake.
Blake acts like an Episode character, I could just see the hairflipping animation when he said “you can’t fix perfection.”
The “she’s a virgin omg,,,” thing was pushed very hard on this and it was so weird.
What was even weirder was the whole issue with her orgasming for the first time, and then on the next page she starts traumadumping about her dad’s death, to then CONTINUING fucking???? I was like … ????? what is happening hello???? How are you still horny!
Although Blake and Farrah’s initial interactions were so awkward it made me wanna scream, they got better as they got to know each other. I didn’t mind the friends too much — justice for my man nardo hes just tryna vibe.
I mean it’s obvious that Blake didn’t really cheat on Farrah, but damn hes an idiot for getting blackout drunk with an ex that people think you’re getting back with. Not to victim blame but hes an idiot 😭
Not revealing it to Farrah to save her the worry of being cheated on is WAY WORSE than what he did. Mans basically said “Everything was a lie. You are unlovable and a joke” instead of “I got really drunk I’m sorry.”
This book was just … an experience. I blame this experience solely on Blake

Starts out pretty good. However, the ending gives no resolution and I imagine you’d have to suffer through the rest of the series to get one. This book made me dislike college students instead of looking back on that time with nostalgia.
