I honestly don’t know what to say other than I freaking love this book from start to end. It has everything I like in a RH and despite it being in a high school setting, it doesn’t really feel that way most of the time. There also wasn’t much bullying and the buildup romance was so satisfying, I didn’t see the freaking plot twist coming until it was deadass smack dab right in front of me. I literally had to drop everything to take a deep breath because the impact it had? I was gasping and yelling for our girl Lacey. The love interests were also amazing in that they’re not cut out of the same mold and actually have personalities that differ them from each other. And of all RHs I’ve never seen one portraying the enemy’s POV so that was a nice change. Only one thing I wish we could’ve got was to see more interactions between Lacey and Colt because the tension between them was so thick I just know their chemistry would also be explosive and just as mind blowing as with Banjo and Rafe. Overall I love the first book in this series so I definitely will be reading the rest of them and possibly the other works by the author. Solid 5s.

Really good story line so far...
So far I am loving this series and I can't wait to see what happens. Elle's writing is fantastic and I love all the twists and turns!
