♾️🏎️💕
I needed to read this book after watching the movie to see which one I’d like better and I think I choose the movie.
However, I did enjoy checking out the differences and getting to read scenes that were cut out from the film.
This was so Wattpad coded and it makes total sense considering this was indeed a Wattpad story at the beginning, and It gave me all the After vibes with the bad boy/good girl relationship.
This book gave what it needed to give and I ate it up. I read it in-between other reads so it took me a month to finish… I guess since I had a notion of what it was about I had to take little breaks and read something new. 
I do kind of regret not reading this book in its original language because the English translation was a bit weird and it kind of took me out of the story.
Nevertheless, I already have the second book and I’m even more excited to read that one before the movie this time!

Things that i like about this book are that both Noah(stepsister) and Nick(stepbrother) both narrate the story so you can get a prospective on both of their inside thoughts.
