3.0

I may lower my rating after thinking about this. I had to jeep telling myself a female write this, right? Such a toxic relationship and bringing their friends along as victims. No woman needs to constantly have a man. The last 40 pages were all over and skipped around. Two times I thought Ai was reading about the past, but no, it was present. I was how did we get here. Somethings missing. Do rich and entitled kids disrespect their parents and have in wedded sex in their parents house like it's nothing? Going to give Daisy Haites a try as I heard it's better. I do like the font and spacing in the book.

2.0

Gossip girl in London but with more drugs and sex and largely focused on two main characters that are on and off (no smut on page but loosely mentioned ). The first 25-50% of the book was really promising but I was disappointed by the circular plot I.e. the two main characters kept having THE SAME discussion. Don’t think I’ll read the other books.
