On paper, ‘ex-bully and victim’ enemies to lovers isn’t my thing but i’ve really enjoyed the authors other books so gave this a try, i’m glad i did.
i appreciate this book could be deeply triggering, what the protagonist goes through in school is frankly horrid and i had a cry or 3 at what she faced. initially i wasn’t too sure the love interest was going to be likeable enough to get into the eventual ‘love story’ but i really enjoyed their dynamic and chemistry. idk, i zoomed through this one and mostly enjoyed it.

It was magical, like a fairytale however a boy is not her saviour but her love of dance, i could see a film adaptation of this.
