What I liked about the book: The main character seems
to be a hacker
- that's cool! And the blurb on the back. That's it.

What I didn't like: Everything else! I only made it to 13% and yet I already feel like some of my brain cells have died. Definitely a DNF for me and I wish I could scrape what I've read out of my brain.
All the characters were unlikeable across the board! I'm really not a prude, but everyone in this book - whether it be high school students, college students, adults, parents, teachers - is disgustingly needy af and they constantly sexualizing each other and whoever they see. None of them probably can even think straight for more than a meter because all they do and have on their minds is f*** around with everyone and everything and take dr***!
That's not romance at all!

Omg .... I really regret that blind buy during one of my bookstore's events.
Bye bye and never again Sandover.

 Honestly, I didn’t want to DNF this so quickly, but considering how many times I have rolled my eyes at this already, I don’t know if I can handle even a second more of this book. Based on the synopsis this sounded right up my alley, messy rich kid drama. Except this just went WAY beyond that and decided that misogyny makes character cool and edgy. It’s not. It’s absolutely disgusting. Especially when every single character is that way. I just couldn’t anymore. Add on to that characters who think they are the shit, but are absolutely pathetic, I don’t know why I was still reading. I also read some spoiler-y reviews and I’m glad to miss out on the extremely biphobic antics this book seemingly gets up to in the part that I have not read. I don’t think I’m missong out on anything with this one.
