 I am trying to read the Rina Kent universe in order so this is my first one. Bully romance is nothing new and it felt nostalgic?? Like a lot of tropes remind me of wattpad where the MMC would be horrible but we still loved them lol. The plot reminded me of wattpad too, not the quality but the set up . I liked how he fell first and Astrid didn’t just roll over and take his bs. It was overall enjoyable but Levi isn’t my favorite book bf. Maybe it’s because the age range isn’t usually my favorite, at least for a romance central plot. I think the ones with Aiden will be more for me. I liked how there was a mysterious vibe also. The first few chapters felt like a fever dream!! I was like SLOW DOWN !!! but overall it was funny and I fully laughed a bunch of times. I don’t know if it was intentional all the time bc the British English vernacular was cracking me up. The side characters were really fun as well, it got me excited for Ronan and Aiden’s stories. I can’t wait for the rest of this universe. Levi and Astrid…. You cute or whateva. Princess and the King. 👑
