90s Flashbacks
High school was hard. Reading Marley's story felt like reliving those days. Bad boys, bullies, inadequacy, laughter, and tears... My first Lucy Score book will not be my last.

This book was at least 400 pages too long. Marley was so obnoxious and immature. I get that was the point but it’s so unrealistic. Would’ve made much more sense for the characters to be in their late twenties.
