Not sure why I kept reading except that I kept thinking it would improve. Go ahead and read it if you want to subject yourself to unending and life threatening bullying.

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.

Is the writing good? No. 
Did I eat it up anyways? Absolutely.
This gave me Winx vibes, I loved Winx as a kid (still do). There were a few too many cringe moments but I still enjoyed it. I will continue the series.

listen: it is described as bully romance but these girls get absolutely very much abused from beginning to end. it's not schoolyard bullying, those are crimes being committed every other page.
