While the storyline was very engaging, this was just so much plot and twist.
Also, the bullying was severe, and I don’t know how she got past all of that to be friends and fall in love with the guys.
But for me, it’s just all of the little subplots, that just makes a story kind of drag on. You have so many enemies that literally every other page is a plot of some kind kind of gets a little overwhelming with all these people gunning for this one girl.
Also, because of how plot heavy everything is, the spice just isn’t spicy!
