disclaimer: I read this on Wattpad which is where the author first posted this book, and I heard the published edition is slightly different so this review is solely based of of the Wattpad edition.

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.

4.0

First of all the things I especially liked about the book were the short chapters, the suspense and the character development. I especially enjoyed the parts where the protagonists got along and everything was going the right way.
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!
