poor reed just wants to get laid but things keep happening to her 😭 and this quote is so true ☝️‼️ reed said big ass rights 

“I was still alive. Ha! Take that kidnappers. Still alive. Maybe it was my butt that was feeding me. I always thought it was kind of round. I bet my body was eating up all the fat stores from my butt now. Yeah. See, having a big ass is a good thing. Good, good, good. They should put that in magazines. Why diet? Why stay thin? If you ever get kidnapped and left for dead, your fat ass could save your life!”

ahh, fun to read as always!! things are starting to pick up even more but it was too bad that it got too predictable at a certain point. i don’t mind predictability at all but the same hints were brought up over and over and over again, i was ready to just pass out 💀nevertheless, it was e entertaining enough to be able to hold my interest until the end! + noelle is the most intriguing character to me so far, i can’t wait to know more about her !!

a quick, fast-paced, drama-filled read that i enjoyed! writing is chefs kiss as always, flows super well!! reed also makes some lowkey dumb decisions here but she’s 15, so she is given the pass 👍 the drama in the sequel is SO much more juicier than the first and that ending…I shall start reading the next one asap 👁👁

a short, fun read!! really liked the writing too! my pea sized brain was able to visualise everything easily :-) i found myself liking reed even though she can be annoying and judgemental at times and make ..interesting decisions but i’ll attribute that to her being a typical dumb teenager. she just wants to be a popular girl so she’s girlbossing her way to her dreams, i can’t get mad at her for that!! the billings girls are low-key a mess jdhshsh and is it just me but i’m getting fruity vibes from them and reed 🍏🍊🍎🍑🤨

picked this up in a book club, expecting it to an entertaining smutty read but it ended up being a boring, not very spicy and musty smutty read ✋ i think the author tried to write them to have an enemies-to-lovers type of vibe but it did not deliver for me!! there was absolutely no world building at all!! (that would’ve been bearable if i had liked the characters, but i don’t .. so..) also, author uses the word “loins” a lot to describe the mc’s vagina and that deeply disturbs me </3
