Undecided between 3.5 and 3.75 stars. It did leave me with a good HEA feeling, despite all of the drama and toxicity, which I tend to rate higher, but the subject matter was a little juvenile. My TBR wheel picked this book for me and I went in without expectations. It is definitely what I would consider a “guilty pleasure” read, about a toxic relationship between teenaged college students who do and get up to ridiculous and unbelievable things, but it was ultimately very titillating, and I couldn’t help but enjoy it, in the same way I enjoyed shows like The OC. I will consider reading the sequel, but probably not for a while.
