It was a really good book and I liked it. I LOVE books when the title makes sense. Choosing Punk 57 as a title is amazing and I want to keep talking about it

I hated the way they treated each other for the majority of the story.  It just wasn’t my type of story.  I’m sure plenty of people would be into it though.

This book feels like something straight from Wattpad, written by some 15 year old girl who's never experienced anything vaguely romantic in her life. Not a single one of the characters is likeable (except for Manny, who honestly deserves so much better). Misha serves to remind me of why I am terrified of men. His theme song might as well be Norman fucking Rockwell by Lana Del Rey. And oh my god, I can not read another 'romance' where the characters just hate-fuck a couple times and decide they're in love without sharing even a single positive moment with each other. I can't do it. I'm going insane.

It's a shame, because I wanted to like this book. I'd heard mixed things, but from what I'd heard about the plot it sounded like something I would enjoy, or at least be interested in. I was not interested. I was either annoyed or outright bored for at least 75% of this book, and that's being generous.

I do want to give the dark romance genre another shot though, so if anyone has any recommendations that are not as god awful as this book, send them my way.

This book was my friendly reminder not to get book recomendations from the "popular on tiktok" section of chapters... 
The first bit was good but it soon turned into a big mess of second hand embarrassment. 
Only reason I even finished was because I'm stubborn. 
The relationship is really rape-y and forceful. Along with the entire plot just being rushed. Technically there is "character development" but the characters just wake up one day after being so stubborn and decide to change.
Very disappointing read. 
Gave it 1.25 stars because I annotated it and being able to write how much embarrassment I was recieving made it much more enjoyable.
