I cannot wait for the rest of this series. So freaking good!”—TheBookishGirlReviews

Better Than I Thought It would be.

I actually like bully stories, but this ,one here kinda threw me a bit with the Name of the book.

My brain thought eventually it would involve a marriage, but that's not what the name of the book meant or where it went.

The Story was pretty good too but there were some triggers.

The Narrators did an amazing job with their Charictors, and bringing them to life.

In this book , it tells a story of what The Quote GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION Means, For Wren.

To sum it up ...
Wren was marked as trash because her mom somewhat slept around.
Wrens mom wasn't a bad person , she just found herself in a situation which labeled her as such.

Now Briggs was dealing with a lot of hurt and resentment and took it out on Wren because of her mom , when Wren had nothing to do with his
issues.

Him being top dog on campus and being 1 member of the 5 elite families, Briggs Buddies followed his lead, as well as the campus and town in hating on Wren.

What I liked about this book was there was no Craxy Exs to deal with !

And this was a 2 character romance, which There was a point i thought it was gonna be multiple guys, ehhh I wasn't feeling it at that point but hung with the story So I was glad to see that didn't take place.

There were A few Sex Scenes, some Vanilla and anel but no bdsm.

What I also liked about this book is although this was a story , in some parts not all but

it is something that could actually happen and the characters portrayed in it could be how folks could have behaved and reacted in this type of scenario. Even in the end Briggs feelings were honest and genuine.

I didn't want to give anything away, but tried to give an honest review of the book.

Something I personally like to add to a review is a characters. description to better connect with them .

WREN : Long chocolate brown hair, Light Blue Eyes .

BRIGGS : Short Brown Hair and Green Eyes .

Would I recommend this book

Yeah I think I would.

With the Triggers it may not be for everyone , so check them out if that applies to you ,
but they didn't apply to me.

I kinda can't wait for the next book to come out now .😊
