i've read better "books" on wattpad.
everything about this book is stupid. awful writing. some of the scenes and quotes of the MC were really something... also the names are ridiculously funny. did i say awful writing? i cringed every other sentence... only reason i finished it is the cover and bonnie and clyde by yuqi in soundrack. everything else was atrocious. the characters were shallow and immature. didnt like the age gap and pregnancy obsessed FL and the descripted tropes werent really there? 
beauty and beast retteling with romeo and juliet references? my ass... 
really do NOT recommend

I found the FMC entitled, juvenile, and hard to root for. The plot dragged and it was hard to see what the arc was. The last 10% introduced and wrapped up about a dozen different points that could've been used earlier on to make the book far more dynamic and enjoyable. Too many half-baked, borrowed themes that just never added anything but confusion (Romeo and Juliet AND Beauty and the Beast ...) I should have DNFd this but I kept hoping for some character redemption.

I’ve never been in a love/hate relationship with a book until now. 

I ended up loving this…in the end. Basically a Beauty and the Beast retelling! 

Annoying in some parts, shocking in others but what really won me over was the laugh out load moments within the text messages between Romeo, Oliver and Zach!
