So toxic. So much body betrayal. Jared's rationale was stupid and flawed af. He did not serve enough penance to gain Tate's forgiveness. The conflict at the very end (

Tate thinking Jared recorded and sent the video

) shows that they are going to have massive trust issues in their relationship for a while. I also still don't entirely understand what K.C.'s thought process was with Jared... but in general, it's been a while since I was 17 or thinking like a 17 year old 😆

Also a lot of sexual assault and sexual harassment. (Which honeslty, probably is a realistic representation of high school, sadly.) And I don't love that were supposed to overlook that on Madoc's part, not just in this book but the next which is his book. Nate and Piper were super gross. Jared was not the only bully in this book. 

In general there were some major logic holes and character gaps in this story, but... I still didn't hate it. Good steam. Good fiesty dialogue (even if it didn't always makes sense/was unhealthy). Kept me decently entertained and anxious. 

Also, all the 2000s/2010s emo/metal bands and songs name drops were... a choice. I mean, I listened to all of it so not hating on the music... just that all the name drops were sorta shoe-horned in there.
