I loved that there was a lot of things in the book that were hidden from everyone else except Lennon and Macon. I loved how they were this undeniable force for one another yet forbidden and not allowed. It made what they had that much more special and sweet. I didn't like Claire's jealousy or her childish attitude about Macon.
I knew without a doubt something bad would happen though in this book and it did. Then the author throws quite a cliffhanger at you. There were a few times I wanted to throw my kindle across the room during this book but I refrained myself. LOL
This book, while written in the high school setting, it's more geared towards the adult section. It's got some dark romance vibes and it's definitely got some graphic parts in it. But for me that's what I look for. I love dark romance; the darker the better!!! I highly recommend this little duet by Brit Benson. She's a great writer, she evokes different emotions throughout this story. I highly recommend this duet.
I will read anything Brit Benson writes now that I've read this book.

macon is so toxic to sam and to lennon. macon and lennon both did sam and eric wrong. len keeps saying she and eric are just friends but it's so obvious that eric has feelings for her, she's leading her on. the way eric still was civil at the prom even though he got beat up. eric deserves sm better!!
lennon keeps correcting <b>brother</b> to <b>stepbrother</b> as if it makes any difference. and what's with macon peeing in front of her was so unnecessary why was that even put in ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
macon did have some redeemable parts ngl like the flowers, the mug, and the art center
