It was good. Just good.
Not necessarily spectacular. I liked their chemistry in the last third of the book but the beginning with the teacher and Crew speaking about girls like they're toys I did not like.
I read this without reading the one previous, and I only realized that halfway but by the time I finished it I didn't really want to read the other book.
I don't know. I guess it's just not my favourite style of writing? Some people adore Monica. I think I'm more of a Sophie Kinsella girl.
But oh god the smut scenes were epic......… (plus d'informations)

Dear Eli,
I just knew you were a cocky jerk from Jake’s story and I wasn’t sure how I would be able to handle your story when you hurt my Jake for so long, but I did take note that if sweet Ava Callihan could find some redeeming qualities in you that I should be able to give you a chance. I am so glad I gave your story a chance because yes you were still that cocky high school kid walking around like big bad A, but you had many layers that you kept close to the vest except Ava got to see the real you. So, I would like to apologize for jumping to conclusions and judging you before I got to see you for who you truly are. Sincerely with love, this reader who is now a fan.

This book was so good as I previously typed out I had my hesitant moments when it came to Eli Bennett because it seemed all he cared about in life was setting out to make Jake Callahan’s life difficult and I even thought he was using Ava to do so, but he showed me that it’s not nice to make preconceived notions about others and what they are going through. Did I completely trust him and forgive him? not 100% yet because he was still a cocky jerk at times. The thing that some tend to forget is in high school a lot of us walked around thinking we couldn’t be stopped and were on top of the world when in reality we struggled with emotions, drama, and how to handle adult situations. Ava at first to me came off as a tad immature and hateful because she did say what was on her mind which wasn’t the problem the problem was how she lashed out at Eli only because he and her brother were rivals, it kind of made me think she was immature but we have all done this in high school too at some point. This does end in a cliffhanger, but I don’t think we have to wait very long for the next one and I can’t wait to see what will happen next.… (plus d'informations)

This book was one I was nervous about not because I didn’t think I’d enjoy it but because I thought it would shatter my heart. Diego was the guy in Jake’s story that we all hated because of the way he behaved and treated his girlfriend at the time. Diego and Jocelyn had a rocky relationship that bordered on toxic because Diego was very needy and needed constant attention so when he felt Jocelyn wasn’t giving him enough, he sought it out in other ways like flirting with other girls. Diego never cheated on Jocelyn but they way he let rumors fly without trying to justify himself was just as bad and hurtful. Jocelyn was amazing and strong so when things happen and take her down a different path, she stands her ground and knows she deserves better than what Diego can give her at this point. I don’t want to give too much away but this story ended up making my heart hurt but it healed it in the best possible way too and I will say this author took a villain and found him redemption in a way that made him not only ask for forgiveness but grow as a human and become an adult. I have falling for Diego and absolutely love it!! Can’t wait for more!!!… (plus d'informations)

I was so excited to find out that we would be getting Tony’s story so I was super surprised that his love interest would be a forbidden (my dad hates your dad) kind of way, but what really intrigued me was that Hayden was a little bit older than him and more experienced which we don’t get a lot of in romance stories. Hayden and Tony don’t believe in love because of what they saw their own parents put each other through so they are jaded when it comes to relationships, but as always love can blindside the best of us. I loved that they struck up a friendship of sorts then feelings became too much to deny this intense attraction they have. They both come from wealthy parents yet neither of them really wants much to do with it or so they say. At times Hayden was a tad irritating stating one second, she didn’t need a man, her dad’s money, etc. then the next she was bargaining a shopping trip out of him or having to wear/have the best (even just in an uber ride) so that irked me a little, but she admitted to her faults of being spoiled and I could respect that because honestly it is neither one of their faults that they came from wealth. Their story was a fun and sweet read (even with creepy stepmom vibes) that I thoroughly enjoyed it. Tony was sweet, charming, and I honestly loved him the most out of their story, yet I can’t wait to see what will happen in the next book.… (plus d'informations)
