What a stupid fucking ending. 

I disliked this book very much. For once, the dialogues where unreal. NOBODY TALKS LIKE THAT. 

Also, are people really this horny all the time? I don't think so. Like, you're about to end your life and suddenly you become preoccupied with this stranger's abs? WTF.

Then, the thing about the will is also dumb. Who adds that clause to their will for their DAUGHTER? PSYCHO SHIT. 

To be honest, the only reason I kept reading was because the protagonists don't get together until like 80%, but by then it's so quick it's also unreal. 

I kinda want to read the next one solely for the premise, butttt, I don't wanna waste my time with insta forgiveness. 

I was expecting worse, honestly.

WHEW what a ride! Not your average high school bully romance. I’m getting hints of Revenge (TV show) in this, but it’s definitely more twisted. It took me a minute to get into the flow, but once I did I was hooked.
