Book Review

I was quite intrigued by this series as this has been all over especially and I have been wanting to get more new adult contemporary under my belt. This book was so different from anything that I was expecting, it had content that I would have expected from a different kind of contemporary than what I got the vibe from the blurb. It has a more edgy feel to it. But I loved the type of story that we received here and I am eager to read more of this series. I highly recommend this book to you.
