rating this 4 stars for purely nostalgic reasons, the paperback is so cute but re-reading it now didn't hit as hard as it did when wattpad was my life 😂

OK SO I LOVED THIS BOOK. I would say that this story is definitely a cliche but not at the same time. There were so many unique aspects the author concluded that made this 10X better and unique that the other stories with a similar plot. Keenan is such a complex and interesting character to read about and I loved every second of it even if he pissed me off a couple of times. He’s so much more than the morally gray brooding character and it was really fun to dissect his actions and words throughout this book. Also i’m so happy that every character in this story had such a drastic change in character development. The writing was also so beautiful. This story definitely deserves more recognition than a regular wattpad story.

A Wattpad book that ACTUALLY deserves media attention and to be turned into a physical book AND a movie!! Yup, it’s THAT good :)

i loved it :)

Bought the paperback because this was my favorite book on Wattpad. The author made changes in the published one but this book is still one of my favorite reads ever.

Absolutely amazing ❤️. You all should definitely read it. I'm so sad it had to end.

After searching for soooo many years, I finally found a DIAMOND!

SMUT - YES!!! Steamy steamy stuff ;)
Will I recommend it to a friend - Absolutely 10000%
Romance 9/10 - It'd be amazing if the author gave us some bonus chapters ;)

Lemme be honest. The first impression was not so good. Reason - the book cover. A perfect example of why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover ;)

Side note - I like neither the Wattpad version nor the published version covers.

When I saw it, I thought this will be another Wattpad erotica with no plot! (That's why I had it in my library for so long) But daaamn. This book has the best plot I've ever read!! I'm surprised is an understatement. After a few paragraphs into the first chapter, I was hooked! After reading 4 to 5 chapters, I knew I found the gem I always searched for ❤

The plot, characters, plot twists, everything was so amazingly written. This book is so unpredictable. Not your typical Wattpad book. No unnecessary sh*t, no cringy sh*t, zero clichè scenes. And the age gap!! The perfect book for me ❤

I love how the main male lead NEVER turned into a prince charming Lol. He is so rude and I freaking love it so much!!! But at the same time, he was so freaking cute.

So after a very long time, I am writing a review on a wattpad book known as Writhing 101. This book contains everything, as in smut. You are pre-warned. This is a mentee × mentor trope (basically indicating the relationship between a learner and the mentor/teacher without the element of forbidden, well somewhat forbidden of course)

Gianna, the FMC, wants to write a book for which she is participating in a program where the mentor gives you pointers for writing a book, and for Gianna, her mentor comes in the form of Keenan Travino, the MMC, who is brooding grumpy man (hottie).

• age gap
• very comical, spicy & steamy
• Keenan being a very relatable person yet a hawtie
• Gianna being confused between Keenan & Adil, gosh they both are so hot, I would have picked both of them
• Janella and Alicia and Ralph, being adorable
• there are so many moments where Keenan is more adorable than grumpy and it melts me

Such a great storyline, must read

I age this book up my god. Although some times I had to stop reading to collect my thoughts, I think the storyline was good. I kinda wished the ending had more detail instead of ending at “I love you” but still

Re-read one of my favourite WP books and although it didn't affect me the way it did when I was 15, it was still pretty cool and certainly nostalgic.

Also, what's with me and my appeal towards prof-student trope, there is something definitely wrong with me. (I blame it on my gemini stellium)

[Liisu · Rating 5 out of 5]

I never write reviews, but I must for this book. It is unique, so thoroughly thought through and amazing in every sense. One of the best books I have read this year!

[Tan · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read this in my Wattpad era

[Tara · Rating 5 out of 5]

Best book ever!!! Would sell my left arm to read it again for the first time

[Netta · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolute best. The best book I ever found on wattpad. Will always cherish it in my heart.

[Tumelo Mbatha · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’ve reread this atleast once a year since 2021–Best thing on Wattpad and definitely deserves more recognition! (Also, where can I find my very own Keenan Travino!?)

[sades · Rating 5 out of 5]

this was one of the first books I fell inlove with.

[ah · Rating 5 out of 5]

i remember it being july 2020 and finding this book on wattpad. now, this book is finished and published. this has to be the 100th time i have reread this book. its so much more than a “wattpad book” to me. it’s such a comfort read and i’m so so happy i have the physical copy to hold onto forever. i just finished rereading it again <3 and it won’t be the last time. ivi, you are such a great writer and im so glad to be mutuals with you. cant wait to see your future works. i hope you’re doing well.

[emceeyew · Rating 5 out of 5]

Possibly the gazillionth time I've reread this book (solely still have that app just to read this). I love it so, so much and there are way too many things I would do, too many lengths I would go to just to have my very own Keenan Travino. The way that man has lived rent-free in my head since the first time I read this more than 2 years ago

[AV · Rating 4 out of 5]

One of my favorite wattpad books and I'm so proud of the author for publishing it. Read this book for the first time in 2021 Sept and now almost 2 years later Imma gonna get myself a paperback of it for nostalgia purpose (and also cause I don't wanna risk it becoming a paid book on wattpad and the paperback getting out of stock on Amazon and then I'll be left with nothing)

My absolute favorite book
