I hated the male love interest. Nothing he could have done in the last 60% could have redeemed him enough for me to justify a romantic relationship between Misha and Ryen.

This book was incredible and ridiculously cute. Misha and Ryen were made for each other. I absolutely adore them. And the plot was great. If you aren’t try to figure out the ending then most of the things will come as a shock.

Some things are so bad they're good... This is just straight up awful. 
I'm surprised this was even published and it's getting this level of attention, it's straight up a bad fanfiction (and, for some perspective, most fan fictions I've read are way better). 

It really tried to make a redemption arc for a bully that supported other violent bullies... Because she just was ✨ not like the other girls ✨ and had a deep dark bad boy love interest.
It's awful, the whole Manny forgiving her after her "boyfriend" Ripped his earlobe? I can't believe people don't see how wrong this book is... 
Using the abuse of others to make a character arc? Ffs

I could write a 5 page essay about all the shameful tropes this book used, pretty much no character is redeemable, so much homophobia and misogyny it's disgusting. 

Save your neurons and skip this one, even wattpad has better and less abusive stories (and definitely better smut)

I simply loved it. A friend recommended it and im so glad i picked it up. I really enjoyed the pen pals element between the character and that there was such a great chemistry between them. I loved that the Ryen was not that vulnerable shy girl and she wasnt afraid to be sarcastic and defend herself and i also really liked that the book addresses some important issues like bullying or grief or the desire to be accepted and liked by the crowd.
I mean, we know i LOVED  Misha and a lot of THOSE scenes so :)

I don’t know how to explain what I mean that well but if you go into this book with low expectations, it actually makes it quite enjoyable. Basically just a entertaining read that you don’t have to think much about to get through. It sorta reads like a fanfic but that’s what I was expecting. Also I don’t think having the book set in high school was a good thing…maybe it would have been better off set in college.
