I wanted to make a video on this book, so y'all could understand the disgust and frustration I felt whilst reading this novel, however, to my dismay, it will not, could not & should not happen! Everything in this book is disgusting, pathetic, gross, and nothing a human being should ever read. I have this book to blame for throwing me in the WORST reading slump known to man! I would rate this book a one, but that is just too high. I hate myself for even believing this would've been a goofy book to poke fun at like The Pucking Wrong Number, but OHHHH was I wrong!

How could the author try to make NICK LEISTER redeemable?! HE IS A RAPIST AND A PREDATOR LET'S CALL IT AS IT IS! He is not romantic. He is not sexy. He deserves to be thrown in jail for the HEINOUS CRIMES he has committed in this book. THE WORST PART is that there is a scene where an officer questions Nick and Noah's relationship, but just lets Nick go. DID I SEE THAT RIGHT?! DO MY EYES DECEIVE ME?! I cannot believe that! Nick is supposed to be some sexy man that just cannot control himself around Noah, but he is the equivalent to an animal. A disgusting, dirty one. Whichever comes to mind as you read that is the correct one :) And don't let me get started on the AUDACITY the author had to add SMUT SCENES in this book. Nick is 22. Noah is 17. I actually just gagged. Does that seem appropriate to you?

  I could go on and on about how this book is genuinely gross, but I am getting a physical headache thinking about this book, hence, why I cannot even make the video anymore.  I have no one to blame but my curiosity for thinking this would've been a goofy book. This is your sign to start reading the synopsis for a book to save yourself money and time.

Wow! This book was similar to the movie, but also not. Loved the book despite the differences - it’s always interesting to read about what the characters are thinking. Noah and Nick’s banter in the beginning was hilarious, especially when Nick tries to sick Thor on her. Mercedes Ron is a great author, can’t wait to read more from her!

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!
