So I was looking for a real bully romance. I read a couple that I enjoyed but a lot of them didn't have enough bullying for my taste in it. Idk what that says about me lmao but if I want a bully romance, I want it to be all in.
This book did that.
It had just enough bullying in it and I really enjoyed the characters because they're both unlikable. Aidan is literally so possessive and manipulative but he embraced it and he does have a soft side. It's just hard for him to express. Very much giving me Klaus vibes. Elsa was annoying but in a normal high school way. I loved seeing her battle with knowing Aidan isn't good for her, but a part of her wanting him anyways. I really hope we get Aidan's POV because it would be so interesting to be in his head.
The writing in this book is just amazing. It's descriptive without being too much and you can feel the darkness and chemistry seeping off the page. Rina Kent really drew me in and I need to know the rest of Aidan and Elsa's story.
The cliffhanger at the end of this was really rude of Ms. Kent. She did us so dirty. I need to pick up the second and third books ASAP.
I do want to say this book is dark. Do not go into this lightly. There is a lot of dubious consent that verges on no consent but I think it was so tastefully done.
1.5*
