I was really disappointed by this... specially since it's really popular... and I watched the first movie when it came out and I actually liked it (didn't love it but liked it yk)... but the book was just not it. In fact I really don't know if I wanna read the rest, I'm a little curious to what happens next because the book definitely got more interesting towards the end but still idk if I want to put myself through that, we'll see... they're all on Wattpad as far as I know so I can read them for free so we'll see if I decide to read at least one more.
the characters were very meh, and the main relationship was toxic as hell. for example Hardin had A LOT of red flags, like for every green flag he had, there were another 10 red flags. and I don't see many people talking about this because out of the two of them Hardin was definitely worst, but Tessa was toxic too.
this book constantly slut-shames (Tessa does that a lot) and basically makes it seem like virgins are better than everyone else (note that I actually am a virgin, and not ashamed, at the time I'm writing this review and I obviously didn't find this amusing at all).
and yeah the two main characters were cute sometimes but they always went back to being toxic, specially Hardin, I couldn't stand him most of the time.
if I do decide to read another one of these books I hope there's A LOT of character development, because it's very much needed.

Like I really enjoyed it and I didn’t want to put it down even tho it was 3:am. It was short chapters and it was really easily read which I loved! While I read it I read over 100 pages every day and I just flew through the pages!
On the other hand, I got really annoyed at Hardin and Tessa, they love eachother and Rhen the next second they are upset and angry at eachother and they never want to see the other one again, but then, two seconds later they are back at being over their heels in love again! It is just so very much back and forth in their relationship and I just can’t get not annoyed with it!
I love Hardin but I also hate him! Like he doesn’t deserve Tessa but they are still OTP so they can not not be together. And Tessa shouldn’t take Hardin back after he left her and insulted her for the millionth time! But still, I can’t blame her for going back to him at mist of the times.
And also the spice?!😮💨😮💨

I was a bit disappointed concerning the ending and all the fights which were the same over and over again. Also, some of the erotic scenes made me cringe. Another aspect I don’t really approve of is the fact that everything in Tessa‘s life - apart from the relationship with Hardin and her mother - is too perfect: immaculate GPA, best job, dream apartment, gorgeous looks, her dorm mate being her best friend since day one, several boys flirting with her, …
Nevertheless, I finished reading this within less than 30 hours and I‘m not even a native speaker, so I would say it‘s definitely a catchy plot and I‘m intrigued to find out how the story continues!
