this was so cute!! this book has been on my to-read shelf for so long that when i started reading this, i completely forgot there was magic in this story and was startled when it happened out of nowhere. but it didn’t make me less interested. in fact, i got hooked into the story even more. and add the fact that alice starts scamming her rich classmates with her supposed “enemy” (henry)!?! *chefs kiss*

also, with the already existing academic rival element, i really wish this had dual pov during some scenes. even though this story wasn’t primarily focused on romance, i still would’ve liked to see a dual pov during the parts where alice started to realize her true feelings about henry. i could totally tell how in love he was with her and i would’ve loved to read his inner thoughts.

i support women’s rights AND women’s wrongs. especially when it’s blackmailing a privileged man.
