's review

did not like it

This is one of the most ridiculous books I've read this year and it's only January. It has such an absurd setup for the plot, clumsy characterization, and the humor lands very poorly (I cringed every time the main character would loudly sing "Big Titty Liddy"). I did like the 1 sex scene though.

Whiteraven191 I don't think I've seen a single actual person like this book. I want to know who these mystery people are who are rating it 4 and 5 stars.

Salma19 (And I Darken stan) I am sorry you did not had a good time with it. For me, this book was a very fun, guilty pleasure entertainment, but I completely get the dislike towards it.

Grace Catherine CINDY I love you I thought I was the only one!! This book is trash and Reid is essentially just a maga boy so I could not consciously enjoy the romance bc of it. Tragic.

Sam (not.a.sidekick) At least you liked the sex scene I mean 2019 was all about how we needed to get LAID so....2020 started off with some type of bang.

Sierra Fenwick I'm so glad I saw u review this Ive had my eye on this for the cool cover without looking at other reviews and barely glancing at what it's about I am definitely staying away from this one.

Allison C I like your review. I think I just read this book at the perfect time. I was in the middle of a reading slump and needed a trash quick paced YA romance to kick my butt back in gear. Looking back, it was far from perfect, but I enjoyed it nevertheless.

Rebecca I'm with Allison - I think I was okay with this book because I had just finished a really deep read and needed something light and fun. However, I'm not sure I'll make it through the whole series (especially if it's longer than a trilogy).

100% agreed - I was in it for the angst rather than the plot.

Its pretty explicit. Why it isn't marketed New Adult I will never understand. I can't imagine my 14 year old sister reading that scene... and I am pretty chill when it comes to mature or "risque" topics in YA lit.

Weirdhufflepuff Honestly, I think they book was very good. Maybe I have an awful sense of humor, or maybe it's because I'm a sarcastic person, but I didn't think the humor was all that bad, or the plot was absurd.

Alicia I watched ur review, and lemme tell you, it’s peak comedy. Funniest thing I’ve ever watched. I guess I’m not rly qualified to say anything about this book cause I haven’t read it, but if your review rings true, the book is hilariously terrible.

Meera Patel I read a preview and from that I couldn't finish it and then the whole Sarah J Mass thing made sense as to why I would not care for it.
