I read this book for a friend and decided on two stars because of it's problematic elements.

The love interest is a "Bad Boy" who is extremely toxic not only to the main character but to his close friends too.
The relationship of the main ship is problematic as they have no boundaries from the very start.

Kaden repeatedly invades her privacy (two times) and insults her (through out all the book).
Took the liberties to slap her ass when she was intoxicated. Their conversations are poor. Whenever he asks Allie a question, it is a demand, but when Allie requires for him to answer her he simply refuses. Instead of taking accountability, the author romanticizes it.

Chapter 23 trigger warnings for mention of past sexual child abuse Allia faced (not r'ed). If it triggers you, you can skip to the next page the moment you see Anderson's name.

The author once again mentions the abuse Allia faced fron Anderson and her mother in a romanticized way, saying that Allia wouldn't have found new friends and love if not what happened because of her abusers.

The friendship between Kaden and his friends is also toxic and romanticized.
After Kaden punches Spencer
, Spencer is described as such a great friend to let himself be punched in the face by
Kaden
.

Finally, the writing style is easy and accessible, but cringey.
