Even ignoring all the gang stuff, the way Lips is treated as a 'poor person' at her academy is simply too OTT for comfort. ❌ This is such a stupidly unrealistic book. And not 15-year-old children of billionaires. Sure, 15-year-olds from the wrong side of the tracks end up mired in low-level gang stuff and criminality all the time, but NOT as mysterious high-level power figures with cool names. ❌ The fact that the characters are 15 is just laughable. The descriptions are cliched, there are inconsistencies galore, and I wanted to roll my eyes so many times. ❌ The writing is not unbearable, but it's extremely rough. It's just impossible for me to try again. I have tried to get through this at least three times now, and I'm finally declaring my capitulation. Believe me, nobody wanted to love this book more than me.Įvery so often I get messages from people BEGGING me to read this book, telling me it's the best RH in existence.
