Ok. Where do I even start. This book exceeded my expectation by a mile. It was so good like i cannot put into words how much i loved it. You were kept at the edge of your seat at each page you'd turn. Always sketical what was going to happen next. But it was completely unpredictable which was the best part. LIke you never knew what was going to happen next and THAT'S what made reading this book so fun. You hang on tighter after each chapter wishing something would happen, new revelations, plot twists, anything. And it just kept coming. Like you'd think it would just be your standard rich boys getting caught in the wrong side of town book. But it is so much more than that. There were times you felt frustrated with the characters. There will definitely be some charcters you hate.

, and there will be some characters you will absolutely love like Blue, and her sister. 
The amount of trauma and heartache that emits from the chracters really makes this book feel real . You almost feel as if you are with them trying to uncover all the secrets left behind that affected their lives so much. Also

There is a plot twist at the end that ends in a cliffhanger
