Real life issues in High Schools today.

I read this through KU and it's the first book I have read from LJ Shen. It for sure will not be the last. I liked the story line even though I usually don't read high school based books. Daria was a little over the top but overall a good book and would recommend it.

Do I have an important oral exam in 2 days? Yes
Am I still reading what feels like a book a day to procrastinate? Yes

This was enjoyable but nothing I would run through the streets and tell everyone about. But it was exactly what I needed right now, so I appreciate that!

It was just appalling…

I adore LJ Shen and her books. They have an amazing story line. The reason I gave this four stars as opposed to 5, I feel the ending was lackluster. I feel it may have been a bit rushed and there wasn’t as much detail as there was in the rest of the book. Aside from that, it was a good book and very capturing. I would definitely recommend this book. There isn’t a ton of smut, but the chemistry is off the charts so makes up for it.

Literally obsessed. Daria is so understood but I love her! And Penn
