A veces es difícil de entender que cuando uno ya no es adolescente es mucho más difícil poder escribir sobre ellos y este libro es la prueba.

It was clear the book wasn't meant to be serious at all times. The Author's aren't afraid to make obvious jokes but nonetheless the book should come with some serious trigger warnings.
I wasn't aware going into the book that it contained outlandish levels of bullying. Like to the point where it's hard for me to find any redeemable qualities in the perpetrators. Consent is near non existent in the books to a level that it is borderline worthy of a dark romance tag. And the characters themselves are very trope heavy.

That being said. It was still a fun read. The concept of the astrology based school was interesting, and I am definitely going to read book 2. I am just crossing my fingers that there is a love interest who isn't a total jerk, or we at least get a deeper glance behind the veil to learn why they are being that obnoxiously cruel.
