The way this book advertised itself is extremely off-putting in my opinion, so if you look at this book and think Oh god this is a highschool romance with mysterious angsty prep boys that all look the same except they all have different…

It had a thrilling, though complicated, plotline. There were many times when I felt confused about a certain situation and then it would suddenly all make sense. Rated Teen
