Listen this was Dark in the bullying. Like to the point only one of the male leads has any redeeming qualities, but this was so addicting to read. I really like our main character and think she’s strong, but kind of makes dumb decisions sometimes. I didn’t realize there’s a student teacher aspect which I’m not sure how I feel. Honestly I only like one of the guys so far because he’s the only one showing a single ounce of kindness. I’m interested to see how the romance can even develop. The end of this was kind of crazy.

I was curious about the pandemic aspect of the story but all the bullying (torture imo) was too much and the whole premise is ridiculous with 17 y/o rich fucks ruling people??

I enjoyed this book! I have enjoyed many of the books from the twisted sisters. While I did see many similarities in the storyline from this as ZA/Ruthless boys, I still enjoyed the difference enough. I love Tatum’s character and her bad ass attitude. There were a few plot twists I didn’t expect. I am interest to see what happens going forward because I love Monroe and Kyan but that’s it lol. There are some trigger warnings in this: quarantine, bullying (intense), violence, and attempted rape.
