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 found this a good book but to be honest, it's the kind of book you have to be in the mood for. It's got very dark themes, intense bullying, narcissistic behavior that is so over the top you wonder why anyone would allow or even applaud such behavior.  Don't get me wrong, it's definitely a good read, but you have to be in the mood for this type of book. I plan to read the rest of the series eventually and definitely recommend it if you enjoy dark themes.

Very dark. Do not take this book lightly. While some scenes may be fun, the overall themes are very dark and may be disturbing to some.
