2.0

This book is really problematic.

To begin with the Elle says that her and Lee are best friends. But to be honest it's such a toxic friendship. Noah Flynn is violent and toxic and its so glamorised and romantacised. 

The protagonist is so cringey. This book had so much potential but this just wasn't it. I found it really concerning that a YA book romanticised toxic relationships. 

The pacing was good though but the writing was immature. 

2/5⭐⭐
