The writing wasn’t good, I feel like the characters didn’t have any chemistry and the all the drama felt unnecessary.
2/5⭐️

[Melita Simpson · Rating 1 out of 5]

the most horrific thing i have ever read

[katelyn · Rating 3 out of 5]

3/5 I lived for the found family. Was it the best writing and plot… no. But I loved the characters and the friend group so much so it was good enough for me 🙌

[Samreen · Rating 1 out of 5]

SO MUCH DRAMA, AND SO LITTLE CHEMISTRY.

[wika ✧˚ ༘ ⋆｡♡˚ · Rating 2 out of 5]

Sometimes they irritated me because they wouldn't communicate properly but overall very cute.

[Katrine · Rating 4 out of 5]

A solid 3,7 tbh

Too many things and ideas, and i feel like a lot of them weren’t handled properly as much as they just was brought up shortly. And it was very big topics, such as: ED, abuse, SA, (physical and emotional) neglect, drugs, violence - like being pushed down the stairs and going to the hospital, that was never mentioned again after that chapter…and so much fkn more 🥸

I like the idea of the book, i did NOT like the smut (personal opinion tho)… The dude compared her a bit too much to an ex(Florence) - tho she was a real one; very relatable and realistic. Florence was almost a bit too real tbh.

Also I wanted more Sarah/girlfriends content
Jamie is forever a favorite and icon. I would marry Marcus in a heartbeat, like someone hook me up! And of course Orions soft side <3

[Freja · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was a simple good slow burn. Liked the characters but we didn’t really get to know any of them on the deep. The ending was perfect but short. The idea was great but I feel like it could have been executed in a better way, to feel and know more.

I feel like it was mostly about Florence and Elijah, the friends were great but we didn’t get to know them enough to feel for them. Like with Orion, couldn’t understand why he suddenly changed or the same with Liam. I wanted more from Jamie. I don’t know I simply wanted more.

I mean a great book if in a reading slump, easy read. Kind of recommend but also not really.

dnf. saw the wattpad a/n at the end of chapter 1 (not sure if this was only in my epub version because that would be strange to include in an official publication??) and couldn’t continue. the writing did not pique my interest enough for me to continue and just skip through the wattpad author’s notes.

[Ayla Yilmaz · Rating 1 out of 5]

i DNFd this at page 50. I now realise all the edits i saw, were made by the author herself.. that explains it all. Such a wattpad book. No chemistry between characters, NO world building AT ALL. Friend group was sooooo boring, the trauma dump was NOT built. This is the second book this month to give me a headache and make me wanna cry. I skimmed till 200 and it was still disappointing farout. Imma go read ACOTAR or something again cause wth man

This book had a good idea behind it, good quotes, and decent slowburn to smut romance. But alsoooo it's very obvious that it was a mediocre, incomplete, rushed wattpad book. The author didn't tie up parts of the plot that well, though they were introduced in a decent matter. It was almost a 3 star until I got to the last chapter, which effectively was "hey we are all teenagers without any money and since our lives suck so bad lets live together in a mansion, bring girls home, get tiktok famous, and live happily ever after" Uhhhhh whatttttt. Some chapters were rly good and some not at all but honestly I wouldn't have even read this book if it werent for a tiktok I saw (ON THE AUTHORS PAGE) or finished this book if it weren't for the short length of the story. The beginning of the book was good but then it was like "LETS FIT TWO INCOMPLETE TRAUMA PLOT LINES INTO THIS BOOK WITHOUT ANY REASON" It didn't tie in well at all.

Cute quotes I highlighted from the romance that make this story a 2 star instead of a 1 star:

- "Suddenly I love my name. I don't think I've ever heard him say it and I'm suddenly convinced that should be illegal. I'll have to hear it from his lips some time."

-"Please un-take whatever hint you took."

-"She seems so genuine and precious at times it makes me want to wrap her up in bubble wrap to make sure nothing can ever hurt her."

-"Something like pride settles in my chest as I hear the slight edge in her voice. I want her to stand up for herself."

-"How long until you realize you have me wrapped around your finger, Florence?"

so yes i did read this book and there should be a punishment for that. i manically BOUGHT this book after i crashed my sisters car a mere 2weeks after getting my license and only 2 days after getting my cast off my wrist allowing me to finally start driving
so i payed $7 for this book bc i need something to distract me asap but this did not do the job

it felt like i was reading 14 years have s*x the way 25 years olds would it felt very illegal and i wanted it to end

this girl was the most useless person ever i’m sorry but i don’t even think she could tie her own shoes

his name was elijah 😬

i have nothing more to say about this book i was determined to finish it so i did that’s all.

[Mariam Adel · Rating 3 out of 5]

Tbh there was something messing like the ending was a bit rushed and I wanted to know more about the side characters for example about orion's abuse , Marcus addiction . We didn't even get to know anything about the girls (Miley, Marcus's sister, Sarah ) and we literally knew nothing about eli's background, his real dad ext....but overall the book was average a cute high school romance recommend 200%

[Bookhelli · Rating 1 out of 5]

Lost everything good about it after I had to pay for it. I also think 8 euros is quite expensive for an e-book. Both main characters are nothing I want in a fictional character. Flo is annoying af and I don't think Elijah is a good boyfriend or friend, for that matter. The book was boring, cringe and had too much unnecessary drama. I can accept that if I read it for free on Wattpad, but not if I pay for it. I don't wanna hate too much, but sometimes Wattpad books should stay on Wattpad. 

[Mckinzee Nelson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read it on wattpad and overall it was an amazing book

[kumiitae · Rating 5 out of 5]

THIS BOOK WAS SOSOSOSOSOSOSOSO GOOD HOLY SHIT. There was a little miscommunication which made me mad but like it makes sense why the miscommunication happened ig. The MMC is so nice and I love him sm and the fmc goes thru a lot but like i lowkey forgot what happens but Ik her dads abusive and when he finds out he like punched her dad or something IDK but the MMC was just amazing ajfjwjcjwjfejje but I olnly read the WATTPAD version which didn’t contain bonus scenes that the paperback does WHICH IS WHY IMMA BUY IF BUT IDC THIS BOOK DESERVES 5 STARS

[Natalia · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book! I have been wanting to read this for a really long time and I definitely did not disappoint.

This beautifully and heartbreaking romance is one of my favourite reads this year. Elijah and Florence friendship and romance development was beautiful. I was so shocked when Florence started to experience home abuse, but support from Elijah and his family and friends was all she needed!

[idk · Rating 1 out of 5]

if i could give this book a zero i would. the only reason i read it was because i was seeing a lot of tiktok’s about it that made it seem like it was a good book but guess who made those tiktok’s? the fucking author. the miscommunication in this book was so fucking bad and i hated the ending, the author just stuck all the characters (even some characters we don’t know shit about) in one house and basically said they lived happily ever after. this book sucks don’t read

[yuled · Rating 1 out of 5]

Lol i didnt know there was a published version of this so i read it on wattpad LMFAOO but anyway. The writing was too rushed, the characters lacked any depth (imo) and overall, the story was way too fast paced? I love fast paced books usually, but everything felt so sudden and out of the blue idk lol

1.75 stars ?

[Hannah Donnelly · Rating 5 out of 5]

I acctully fell in love with this book I read it on day and I honestly wish it didn't end. The love story and friendships in this story made me feel like I was there. I balled my eyes out multiple times but it was worth it

[hadiko · Rating 1 out of 5]

I definitely regret picking up this book and finishing it, but I hate not finishing books even more, even though right now I’m not sure if I hate myself for finishing it or not more, because this book was a waste of time.

[Oliwia Sokolowska · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book in my opinion was so good! I can see why people might not like this but I ate this book up 😍 it gave me all emotions which I loved. Yes, it made me actually ugly cry and giggle, smile and everything u can imagine!!

[ScorpiaFalcone20 · Rating 5 out of 5]

I consumed this book in a single day. It offered a delightful blend of sweetness, interspersed with poignant and heartrending moments. Altogether, it proved to be a wonderful choice for unwinding and relaxation.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THEYRE SO CUTE !

[Alessandra Frieser · Rating 4 out of 5]

AAAAA i loved it SO much but kinda missed knowing more about the side characters

[Shruti Simhadri · Rating 2 out of 5]

that was a waste of my time bro😭

[Nikki Visser · Rating 1 out of 5]

I'm going to be real honest here, this is the worst book I've ever read. There is way to much going on and it just doesn't make sense. Beneath I'm venting lol.


*SPOILER ALERT*

1. FMC has strict parents, but the parents are never at home and leave her be. She can do whatever she wants, whenever she wants. No one is controlling her, she can use her phone whenever, could hang out 'til late with guys, without supervision. I can go on forever; this girl does NOT have strict parents.

2. FMC has an eating disorder. Alright, that's a tough subject. BUT it's not painted correctly. Like, no what do you mean she can eat everything and then suddenly she can't anymore? An ED is created over time, not because one day she decided: mmh let's just not eat or throw shit up. Then the author changes the whole thing and her mother was the person who gave her an ED? But her mother is never at home? Like, c'mon, can't you see for yourself, as a writer, that that doesn't make any sense?

3. This FMC is obviously a pick me; she's always hanging out with guys and has yet to call herself 'one of the boys'. She gets jealous when a girl approaches one of her guys, but she has a crush on just one guy in the friendgroup... This shit hurts my head, man.

4. Last but not least, yay the parents are finally back! Now shit hit the fan, because suddenly this girl is deadly afraid of going home. All this time, she can do whatever she wants and now.... she gets SA'd by her dad out of nowhere, with no context whatsoever, and her mom hits her? Then she goes living with her bf. Where is the build up???? It's exactly how I wrote it down here, but with more dumbass details no one asked for.

As you can see, I think this book was shit, periodt.

[ira ₊˚⊹♡ (semi-ia) · Rating 1 out of 5]

DNF within the first 4 chapters

The writing style was just not for me, I couldn't see where the plot (if there was any) was headed and sensed a messily executed "twist" to make up for it.

[Ysabela · Rating 2 out of 5]

this was not a really good book.☹️

[Sara Keadana · Rating 4 out of 5]
