The next dark and sexy romantic suspense novel from the USA TODAY bestselling author of Unteachable. "Love is not a thing that we create. It's an undoing. " It only took one moment of weakness for Laney Keating's world to fall apart. One stupid gesture for a hopeless crush. Then the rumors began. Slut, they called her. Queer. Psycho. Mentally ill, messed up, so messed up even her own mother decided she wasn't worth sticking around for. If Laney could erase that whole year, she would. College is her chance to start with a clean slate. She's not looking for new friends, but they find her: charming, handsome Armin, the only guy patient enough to work through her thorny defenses-and fiery, filterless Blythe, the bad girl and partner in crime who has thorns of her own. But Laney knows nothing good ever lasts. When a ghost from her past resurfaces-the bully who broke her down completely-she decides it's time to live up to her own legend. And Armin and Blythe are going to help. Which was the plan all along. Because the rumors are true. Every single one. And Laney is going to show them just how true. She's going to show them all.… (meer)

Kept thinking about stopping this one and I'm glad I didn't. It got so much better at the end. ( )

This book was like a huge, decadent dessert of vengeance, sex and the complexities of teenage sexuality.

At times a little over-the-top, I still really enjoyed it. The out-of-order narrative can be a turn-off but I felt it was well utilized here, without feeling excessively messy. It was a fun, delicious read, despite the dark subject matter.

Rating: 8/10

This book is so beautiful and completely fucked up, in the best kind of way. ( )

I spent about half of the book feeling confused and not being sure I liked it but it had hooked me and I felt I needed to read to the end to untangle everything. The story telling is masterful and it's written beautifully.

It's dark and probably not for the faint hearted but it doesn't shy away from some big things. As a queer person with BPD it's so rare to find those things in characters and it was very interesting to see such a raw and honest portrayal. I came away wanting to recommend this but at the same time it's such an intense book that I know it won't be for everyone. ( )

4.0

The character in this book are vengeful, jaded, often self involved, fractured, and hold a very flexible morality. The story zig Zaha around in an often off putting semblance of a timeline. The writing is as lyrical. The discussion of sexuality raw, real and honest. The plot was dark in the best of ways. The plot twists at the end -some brilliant and one...reaching.

I loved to hate the characters, I enjoyed struggling through the disjointed time line, and the writing had me grabbing my highlighter. Also, I don't think I can forget this book. I'm glad I gave Elliot writing another chance after Cam Girl. ( )
