Officially obsessed with this series! Blue is a strong female lead (my favorite) & her character development is fantastic! I love a strong, caring, independent, no BS MC!
West is that “F boy” you love to hate. The bullying was next level (even with his justification), but it's bearable because Blue is her #1 advocate / doesn't put up with that nonsense. West’s struggle with accepting his feelings toward “Southside” (swoon btw

Why does this have to be so good?
I told myself that I wouldn’t get wrapped up in another series, I would read the first book and then read something else. These authors made it impossible. Blue, I feel you girl and West should remember that when you assume it just makes an @ss out of you and me. Oh, and Parker and Mike deserve each other.

Dámy a pánové, vítejte u jedné z ukázek mého obskurního vkusu a ztráty vašich iluzí, pokud jste ještě nějaké měli. Všichni jsme věkově tak podobně či starší, a myslím, že se shodneme na tom, že už není potřeba si na nic hrát. :D
Obsah knihy je toxický jak prase (dle @yorkis by se dala shrnout jako Mean Girls, Gossip Girl, random Netflix teenage drama a US Shameless dohromady) a v životě bych to nechtěla zažít, ale oceňuju, že měla hrdinka páteř a pěkně našemu douchebagovi alias dalšímu hlavnímu hrdinovi zavařila. Spoustu věcí, které YA či (new adult) nezvládají, se tady podařilo podat docela uvěřitelně. Nicméně školním psychologům doporučuji jako extrémní ukázku toho, co by se vám ve škole rozhodně nemělo dít. :D 3,5*

Ich brauche dringend Band 2, aber dieser dauert noch. Und ich hoffe, dass die ganze Reihe übersetzt wird.
Für mich war es genau das Richtige gewesen. So kleinen Gossip touch hatte das Ganze gehabt und ich habe es geliebt. Wobei es mein erstes Bully Romance ist.
Natürlich wäre die Geschichte nur halb so spannend, wenn die Charaktere miteinander reden würden, aber wo kämen wir den dahin das West direkt klare Verhältnisse schaffte.
So aber steht Blue direkt auf der Abschussliste von West und er muss sich noch nicht mal die Hände schmutzig machen um Blue zu schikanieren.
Dies bedeutet leider kein guter Start für Blue an der Cypress Prep. Aber Blue ist keine Person, die klein bei gibt. Eher bietet sie West ganz schön die Stirn.
Was die Handlung so interessant macht ist die Verstrickung, die im Hintergrund ist. Denn da ist auch noch Hunter, der Bruder von Blue.
Irgendwie habe ich ein Gefühl wie ein Teil der losen Fäden zusammenhängt, aber noch sind diese nicht gut zu fassen.
Hier geht es überwiegend überwiegend um die Anziehung zwischen West und Blue. Das beide mehr in den anderen sehen, aber nichts ist hier einfach. So war dieser Band erstmal zum Aufwärmen und neugierig machen. Bin ja gespannt ob sich meine Vermutung noch bestätigen wird.

Trouble comes in three's. I just recently finished reading Boys of Brayshaw High by Meagan Brandy where the "kings" were three adopted (non-blood) brothers and now we have triplets as high school royalty. Hmmm.
I loved it. I'm usually wary of enemies to lovers where one of the MCs (it's usually the H) is a bully, but this book didn't suck because we all know that West is not truly mean. Despite what he says to Blue, he still cares about her and he didn't really go too far with trying to hurt her (well, at least before that last part).
I loved Blue and West's chemistry, although damn, I love Ricky too. I wish we could keep them both (can we???).
As a bullied h, Blue was not so bad. My favorite bullied h ever is still Raven from Brayshaw because maaan, she was badass.
This book totally ends in a cliffhanger btw.

The Golden Boys is the first book in the Kings of Cypress Prep series. This book is told from dual points of view from Blue and West. Blue has had a tough life. Her mother took off, and her father is an alcoholic. Her brother is in jail, and Blue has to take care of her 14 year old sister. She gets a scholarship to a better school, and while there she meets West.
West is one of the most popular boys on campus. The call him and his brothers the Golden Boys due to their last name. West finds something about Blue and wants to punish her for it. Blue doesn’t understand what West's problem is.
West and his minions keep doing things to Blue to make her life harder at this new school. West has conflicting feelings. He's mad at her with what he found, but he also has feelings for Blue. Blue won't just stand down, she fights back against West and his minions. She knows he has issues with her, but she has feelings for him as well.
When something bad happens at the end of the book will Blue take it or step up and get even. I can not wait to see where this book goes next. I'm curious to see what happens when West finds out everything is not as it seems.
