 If I’m gonna read a bully story I want the bullying to last longer than 3 days. I know homegirl has already been through trauma but what’s a bit more bullying, ya know. The bullying wasn’t even THAT bad, they only did 2 things to her, like take it up a notch, please.

Don’t even mention the insta love to me. How are we gonna go from bullying to love within a 3 day period?? If it’s gonna have the love in there I need the bullying to last longer.

I kinda feel like this was rushed, as if it just needed a bit more added into it. Like where was the build-up??

Now Briar has a bit of trauma which gave the story a twist, but the way that it’s going is a bit idiotic to me. If you’ve read it you’ll know but like… their choice at the end does not make sense to me.

ALSO there is one line in this book where I LOST it. Let me read this line to you: “I feel like an animal around you. I am a feminist, I believe in women’s rights, and consent, and all of that…” I’m sorry what??? I literally laughed out loud. How very noble of you Samson for believing that women should have rights and be able to consent. Ya know basic rights and all.

Did I read this in 3 hours though…? Yes.

Am I going to read the second book…? Yes, I haven’t gotten a big ole group scene yet.

I’m gonna be honest, I’m not reading for the “plot.”

There was a bit of M/M in this book which I’m assuming will pick up a bit more in the second
