1.0

simply, this book is not good. it is gross, and should not be romanticized. there is a murder mystery, enemies to lovers, and so much more that it all kind of spirals together. but i’d be lying if i said i wasn’t intrigued enough to read the second one. mostly for my powerpoint. and it gets more than 0 stars bc there were 2 quotes i liked and the age different between the characters was normal.
