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.

Anyways that felt good to get out of my chest I. LOVE. THIS. BOOK.  the amount of times I was about to throw my phone or took tiktok breaks bcs I was seething 😤 and that means authors you did a good job l. There were scenes where I couldn’t sit and continue reading I was this 🤏🏼 Close to throwing my phone across the room but I didn’t thank god. And sometimes I would stop for a few minutes just to rant to my friend and cuss them out even tho she doesn’t read. And I might’ve traumatised her sooo someone’s gotta pay her therapy bills. I’m gonna say it again I love this book you guys did a great job and I can’t wait to read the next book
