Honestly, this book felt like an LJ Shen story — a wild rollercoaster of angst, cruelty, and raw vulgarity intertwined with surprisingly sweet and heartfelt moments from the characters' points of view. The story unfolds through multiple perspectives, which caught me off guard since it wasn’t mentioned in the summary. While that added some depth to the side plots, I found myself mostly uninterested in them, craving more focus on James, June, and William. The narrative is bogged down with unnecessary details about trivial matters, leaving key plot points underdeveloped until the final 10 chapters. Until then, it felt like just filler. As it stands, this book could serve as a solid outline for a story that delves much deeper into the characters’ backgrounds — but sadly, it doesn’t quite get there. Given that it’s part of a series, it makes sense that this first installment leaves a lot unresolved, stretching across 415 pages of unfinished business.

I honestly can’t tell if this was supposed to be a romance book, even worse was this an attempt at enemies to lovers? The enemies part is there but there is zero chemistry, yearning or even flirting. Don’t get me started on, what I guess you would call, the banter. It was hard to read the way he talked to her and treated her and what did she have to say about him other than he was hot.
So rare is it when movie is much better considering the only things they shared were the main character names. Smart choice

I am honestly not sure I read the full book or not, since I read this on wattpad because it's free, lol...
The only reason I read this book is because I watched the movie, and the movie honestly wasn't even good, but I was curious to see how the book would be... Let's just say the book was out there. Lots and lots of drama and the spice was ridiculous! The romance didn't even feel like romance...
I don't really have much else to say... but I would like to know if the full book was on wattpad, so I can know if I actually finished it or not!

After reading the book I feel strongly that more of the scenes in the book should have been included. I think that blazes relationship with Jackson is completely irrelevant to the story and should taken out. Junes mom acts completely different than in the movie and think they should have stuck with the book character. James in this book feels like the leader of a SEC Frat house. I could barely get through some of the chapters taking his personal life, the rich play boy trope needs to be reevaluated by everyone reads it and writes it. It feels very repetitive and boring and almost overused. I also feel that the love triangle is completely useless and honestly makes me want to put the book down as Will is a worse person than James (hot take). Even though u strongly disliked how much time I wasted on this book I will still read the next one. I am excited for the new movie to come out but also not looking for are to suffering through reading the same plot over and over again.

not one redeemable character

Too many story lines/ POVs for me. Enemies never turned lovers.
I was hoping the book would go deeper into June building trust with Jasper and possibly dive more into James’ backstory. But the whole story was just rich unsupervised, high school kids with substance abuse issues.

Honestly, it’s still a pretty easy read - at least the first part - and there are some genuinely interesting moments, so I wouldn’t say the book is 100% bad. But overall, I found it much less enjoyable than the movie : while the film managed to create real chemistry between June and James, the book really struggles to convey that. On top of that, the constant point-of-view changes are hard to follow and sometimes even confusing. Enemies never turned lovers.
———
“That’s William Cooper. He’s one of Hunter’s best friends […] They’ve been best friends since middle school.”
« That night, she was even more beautiful than usual. Her long, jet-black hair cascaded onto her shoulders in waves »
« But at this very moment in this unfamiliar beach house on the coast of Crescent Bay, William was paying attention. He looked at me, and I didn’t know what to say. […] He leaned against the wall. “How on earth did you end up here?” he asked. I caught a spark of interest in his expression. »
« “That bad, huh?”
“What do you think?” he asked.
“I don’t think so, because you got high beforehand.”
James collapsed with his back against the building wall as he fiddled with a clear piece of rolling paper.
“Watching what I’m doing?” »
« James leaned his face toward mine. “And remember, I don’t like girls like you.” »
« “You know, June, I think he likes you.”
“Who ?”
“Will.” »
« “Asshole!” I snapped.
“Say that again, White,” he taunted.
“What’s wrong, Hunter? Does that turn you on?”
“Don’t know, White… does it turn you on?” »
« “James, I don’t know why you’re still hung up on something I told you in a moment of weakness.”
“It was the honesty in the way you talked about it,” I shot back immediately.
“What do you mean?”
“I envied you.” »
« “James […] Are you out of your mind?”
“Have you always been this beautiful?”
I was stunned. This guy seemed capable of scrambling everything in my brain, but most of all, he had a disarming ability to manipulate my emotions.
“You’re trashed. You’re confusing me with someone else,” I stuttered.
James didn’t seem to care about what I’d just said and started to play with my hair, forming little blond ringlets around his index finger.
“Tell me something, princess.” Oh no. I felt trapped. »
« “And I’m guessing she believed you. I mean, sure - everyone dresses like that to study.”
That rough, gravelly voice made the three of us snap to attention. Amelia glanced sideways at James. He ran a hand through his chestnut-brown hair. »

Amazing book — completely different from the movie. This isn’t a love triangle at all, but a slow-burn romance that unfolds gradually, carefully, and with real emotional depth between June and James.
She may seem like the classic “good girl,” and he fits the “bad boy” stereotype — but the beauty of the story is that they’re both fully aware of those labels. They recognize the roles they play. They even question them. Yet at the same time, they’re afraid — afraid of change, afraid of stepping outside what feels safe and familiar.
The tension between them is electric, and what makes it so compelling is that it builds steadily throughout the entire story. They don’t fall in love instantly. There’s no rushed confession, no sudden shift. Instead, the connection simmers — layered, restrained, and charged — growing stronger with every interaction.
It’s thoughtful, intense, and emotionally earned. A romance that takes its time — and is all the more powerful because of it.

I don't know why the books with douche-hole male protagonists go viral. James is a wanna-be-bad-boy-misunderstood-vulgar-douche-hole-fuckwad. There. I said it. His character isn't redeemable. I cannot stand the way he talks to her. There's nothing BAD about this "bad boy," except if you count that the word FUCK is one of the five in his vocabulary. ZERO chemistry between any of the characters.
I can't tell why the characters even like each other, becuase I don't know enough about them to actually care about them. I can't with these books. These boys lack boundaries, June is stoopit, probably has low self-esteemwhich explains why she likes James.
Thelack of plot is predictable. The book is a combination of After, Through My Window, Fifty Shades, 365 Days.
The book is stoopit. But I had a laugh reading it.

Ew ew ew ew.
I’m giving myself a pass and transferring my credit of *watching* the movie into acting as if I actually read the book. Which I will not. Cuz what the fuck. But I needed to write a review sOmeWhEre!! (So I’m marking it as DNF bc it feels right).
Cringe all around. The actors, the acting, the accents, the succession of interactions and events.
Just no.
And apparently 400 pages? Over my dead body.
There was not one sex scene. And the premise of “ooh she can ride a motorcycle” gave Noah vibes from “My Fault” with the whole race-car thing.
The only part I enjoyed about this movie was hour 1 minute 32. Obviously it’s THE VERY END and it’s because the mmc could’ve died.
RATING: CRINGEY.

I don't have much to say about this book. I started reading it after watching the movie, which I enjoyed. Surprisingly, it has almost nothing to do with the book.
I didn't like the several points of view; it made it confusing and difficult to focus on the main characters. The love triangle is insufferable. The way everyone treats each other doesn't even make sense or help the plot. Most of the time they are rude for no reason. I usually love enemies to lovers, but June and James's banter felt like violence for its own sake.
I'm looking forward to the next part of the story in the movies, but I don't think I will try to keep reading the second book.

Woaw! Läste denna efter jag såg filmen, asså det är faktist stor skillnad från boken och filmen. MEN jag tyckte att båda var bra.
Sättet jag var fast i denna boken var konstant, läste HELA tiden. Ville inte göra annat än att läsa. Det är en lagom blandning mellan att det är mystiskt till att det blir rolig. Jag älskade att man fick läsa om dem andra karaktärernas POV, det är inte lika många utan June (just i denna) är ju huvud karaktären. Men jag tyckte verkligen om att man fick se andras sida av historien.
Tate lätt kunnat läsa om den direkt! Älskart!!

A ver, este libro me lo empecé después de ver la película. Y la verdad es que prefiero la película. El libro tiene mucho potencial y una idea y trama muy buena, pero no me gusta cómo es James. Me parece que tarta excesivamente mal a June durante demasiado tiempo, y me gusta más el James de la película. El libro ha acabado MUY interesante, y me voy a leer el siguiente para que acaben en lovers ya.

More like 2.5 stars. The story seemed to go on forever and there were too many povs. It would’ve been better if it was just June and James’s povs. I found myself stopping and trying to figure out who everybody was because there were too many.
On a brighter note, there were some moments between June and James that I liked where he gave off “touch her and die”. Very stark contrast between the two characters of June and James and even William.

This book had too many details of things that didn’t matter and really didn’t get into the relationship of the “main characters” and the resolution until the last 10 chapters or so.
I wanted to like it since it was so hyped with the show being released on Prime Video. I’m not sure exactly what it was, but I just didn’t love it or the writing style, as much as I tried to.

Like yeah ok. Now I want the second one
The majority of the book honestly is the author just building up the hatred between James and June and the plot of the movie is more near the end. But all that cyber bullying anonymous stuff doesn’t happen. So interesting Hm
Anyway the English translation to the second book comes out on Tuesday. Ordering it now.

Worst book I read this year. I decided to read it after I watched the movie because I actually really enjoyed the movie, but this was nothing like the movie at all. It was a completely different story. I’m not even gonna bother reading the second one because it was a struggle to even get through this one

bien, pero no bien, bien, sino bien wtf? tipo… la escritura está bien, el hilo está bien, ¿pero de qué trata al final???? no se llega a entender nunca, si me pidieran explicar este libro, creo que nunca hallaría las palabras. simplemente está bien, es como leer friends pero con mafias y peleas callejeras, así de “rutinario.”

This book had multiple POVs, love triangles, and lots of drama (which (to me) felt a bit overdone at times). The abundance of side POVs took away from the main storyline and romantic chemistry, however, it was sharply written! If you like love triangles, you may like this read.

É diventato il mio libro (e poi serie) preferito in pochissimo, mi sono affezionata subito ai personaggi e alla storia, è coinvolgente ma la scrittura lenta a volte può essere pesante.
