Graphic: Bullying, Death, Blood, and Alcohol
I have never given a book 5 stars in my whole life. I really enjoy this kinda books. Not only is the story coming natural but also the relationships between characters. The first time a FC is not quirky and edgy and is thinking about her actions, despite wanting to reach her wish. Loving Jude especially for standing up for herself, makes me relieved to finally see someone who does not take it all, just because she is "too weak", simply because she wants to be respected, even if she has to earn it. She is smart and so far my favorite Female Lead in all books I have read so far.
This book has a good mix between story line and character relationships, giving some time to the relationships to actually unfold, especially when we are talking about enemies to lovers.
So thank you for finally giving us an ACTUAL enemies to lovers - and not "thehe you suck but you hot let's make out" bullshit.
