This is not a book for everyone, but I thought it was fun and engaging. It was a pretty fast read for me. The book did have several typos and issues with printing (like the text messages) that were frustrating.

What brought down the rating for me was the descriptions of fancy clothes, like I get it’s Magnolia’s thing but I found it very distracting and it would take me out of the book.
I liked the dual POVs and learning about the characters through their past and present.
There are great lines in this book that are borderline too cheesy but I ate them up.
I highly recommend this book if Blair and Chuck were your favorite couple and characters in the Gossip Girl tv show. If you didn’t like Blair and Chuck you won’t like this book. This is top level toxicity that is entertaining to read about, but not good for the real world. Excited to read the rest in this series!
