I love this book. It’s dark and full of lots of sex and some hard parts that could be triggering but I love the characters, I love the plot, you love to hate these boys and you’re routing for Story the whole time. Can’t wait to read the next one.

At a loss for what to rate this because on one hand it was not good and quite toxic and ridiculous….. but on the other hand it was highly entertaining  🙈
