3.0

I picked this one up right after finishing Paper Princess because that one entertained me so much. This one was still good but it wasn't nearly as entertaining as the first one, and was even kind of boring at parts. 

And, as much as I was amused by it, I still have to point out how entirely and utterly problematic this book is. There's a whole lot of bullshit going on it, and the most glaring and obvious one is Reed and Ella as a pairing. Reed is a nasty piece of work and probably one of the worst people I have ever read as a love interest. The way he just hounds Ella throughout the beginning of the book is absolutely disgusting and I would want her miles away from him where he's not being a piece of shit all the time. 

Not to mention all the shit with Brooke and Delacorte and Jordan. It's just a world full of exceptionally shitty people, that's all. 

Again, highly problematic but also kind of entertaining.
