Honestly the pee scene wasn’t to my taste and I felt like it had been put in purely for shock factor but thankfully it was brief enough to not ruin the read for me.
The plot and villains were kind of minor and inconsequential, just kind of there to add some tension I suppose. The romance, self-acceptance and character development was much more engaging.

This book is everything to me. I want this book in my casket at my funeral. My one main source of joy in life was reading about these five characters realizing what they want and going after it in spite of the odds that are stacked against them.
Jessica Martin was the Queen Bee at Wickeston High, and she had many people who loved her and many who hated her. Initially she believed her popular friends loved her and the Freaks - Manson, Lucas, Vincent and Jason — hated her. But there was always a part of her that was drawn to these four boys, and watching them go from distant strangers in The Dare to the loving found family where they ended in this book made my heart swoon.
Of course, they had trials, tribulations and lots of sex along the way that you’ll just have to read for yourself but GOD. I love this book and these characters so much. I will think about them long after I close this book, and probably for the rest of my life.
One of the easiest 5 ⭐️ reads I could have given this year, and definitely a favorite for life ❤️🔥
(If this has piqued your interest, please pick up this masterpiece - and make sure you check your TWs!!)
