I should have just DNFed this, part of this very low rating is also to do with the narration of the audiobook which I feel was terribly overdone.

This was trashy as fuck, but also quite a lot of fun. 
Do I think this deserves the 4.45 rating it has on Storygraph? Absolutely not. Underdeveloped characters, clunky conversation, wild plot points.
But it is fun, and I think especially fans of ACOTAR will appreciate this read.

What an important book! πŸ’œ Highly informative, but still very readable. Less anecdotal and more facts based than the often read Ace by Angela Chen.

Honestly, this is how YA should be done. So much of the current YA genre caters to adult readers that enjoy reading YA - as they are the bigger market (money wise) - and it is really a pet peeve of mine. This is real YA that can truly be enjoyed by teens!
