This is the second part of the Wallflower Oakmount Elite series. Super spicy, enemies to lovers, touch-her-and-die, retribution story. Great end to Bel and Drew’s story (but hopefully we see more of them in future books of this series!). I’ll admit, it was a bit annoying and frustrating with all the back-and-forth, forgive-him-don’t-forgive-him that Bel was going through. I get that she was going through a lot since the first book, but it was so obvious that Drew did what he did for a reason. She kept harping on about Drew not being trustworthy, but he had always been honest with her & saved her butt countless times! …Okay, once… but still. Also took off points because Bel sometimes read like a “pick me” not-like-other-girls 2D character. I understand that she went through a lot after the events of the first book, but I really wanted more from her if she was going to be a psychopath’s obsession, ya feel me?? Anyway, good sequel, good set up for a third book, LOVE Drew and Seb!! Had a blast reading this!!
