Okay so I love Mia and she does no wrong for me but I have to be honest, this book had me wondering if it’s even written by her up untill I realized that it was her first novel and also written in 2013 when wattpad stories were all the hype then things made sense to me.
This book had the potential to be good but failed,I will say it was enjoyable nonetheless hence the three stars but it was one big cliche. From the male MC lying , favoring himself and saying all the cliche toxic phrases and “alpha” toxic male would say, to the gay bestfriend. Also Evie wasn’t that great either I felt uncomfortable because I imagined her as a child the whole time. And when it comes to the plot, it was the most predictable thing from the very first page so when the writer made the revelation look like a huge surprise it was in fact an eye-roll worthy moment because really? Am I supposed to be shocked? I knew all of this from page one so yeah I love Mia and every single book I read by her but this one is a huge disappointment
