i've read better "books" on wattpad.
everything about this book is stupid. awful writing. some of the scenes and quotes of the MC were really something... also the names are ridiculously funny. did i say awful writing? i cringed every other sentence... only reason i finished it is the cover and bonnie and clyde by yuqi in soundrack. everything else was atrocious. the characters were shallow and immature. didnt like the age gap and pregnancy obsessed FL and the descripted tropes werent really there? 
beauty and beast retteling with romeo and juliet references? my ass... 
really do NOT recommend

I’ve never been in a love/hate relationship with a book until now. 

I ended up loving this…in the end. Basically a Beauty and the Beast retelling! 

Annoying in some parts, shocking in others but what really won me over was the laugh out load moments within the text messages between Romeo, Oliver and Zach!
