it did drag quite a bit the first 200 or so pages for me but when it escalated so much at the end that i think it was worth it. i dont like monroe as a love interest mostly because he’s a teacher and even the ridiculous setting isn’t enough for me to fully suspend my disbelief and not get icked out - i feel like this would work better in a fantasy/pnr because they’re not usually set in our world anyway.

If you don’t enjoy a bully romance, this book is not for you. The romance is building very very slowly, which I don’t mind. It helps build the anticipation and suspense. The boys become much more loveable in this book because many things come to light that we didn’t know before. 

I was not expecting that ending and I’m eager to get to book 3.
