The writing is terrible and there's too much going on with the worldbuilding which leaves little room for a plot.
The characters are flat and painfully immature. I also just couldn't keep the twins apart.
There's so much cringey and problematic stuff in this book, including but not limited to the non-stop boundary and consent violations.

Mind control is prevalent in this book, meaning sometimes characters are forced to do things they don't want to do.ifoundcallie's review against another edition

But goddamn, getting past the poor writing was a struggle. About 100 pages in, the only way for me to continue was to start annotating just so I could edit as I read. I restructured sentences, corrected grammar and spelling, and added punctuation where necessary. It honestly felt like no one but the authors read through the book before sending it out to print. And don't even get me started on the fact that Tory and Darcy- two 18-year-old girls who were supposed to have grown up in the US- used terms like "sports kit" and "postie", which are very British terms.
But again, I enjoyed it. So am I gonna read the rest of the series, no matter how infuriating it is? Absolutely.
