Okay, so I am finding this book hard to review because, like many of you know, I always want to support my fellow Wattpad authors but this book had too many levels of thirteen year old me cringe for me to properly enjoy this story.

- This is your typical good girl/bad boy story and I knew that going in. I kind of expected some angst, the typical love to hate you get from these books because don't get me wrong, when it's done right, I am LIVING for it. But this book felt like something I would have picked up ten years ago and loved.
- I really didn't like how one-dimensional Scarlet was. She didn't stick up for anyone, let her boyfriend go around bullying people and was overall a weak character. I didn't understand the dynamic between her and Elijah either because it felt so forced and the build-up was missing for me.
- I also don't appreciate when books tell you what is happening instead of showing it to the reader. The writing felt very blocky and boring and some parts were easily skippable.

Overall, this book didn't do it for me. I feel like me, ten, even five years ago would have devoured this book but this isn't something I'd pick up to read now. I think the story was fine, the writing was okay and I overall left this book feeling like it isn't something I would remember.
I received this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This one was a bit formulaic, might appeal to teens though. Very black-and-white
