I did not realize this was a second generation series but I was lucky because I read the first generation series not that long ago. When I read that series I did not read the parents of the FMCs character as it was a prequel. I don’t think it is needed for the book.

Although I did enjoy this book there were some things that bothered me. I felt that this was so close to being like mean girls. Also, parents do not communicate with their children that are old enough to understand. The relationship between Daria and her Mom fell apart because they didn’t communicate properly.

I however loved the banter between Penn and Daria. I did not like his sister and in my opinion does not deserve to be forgiven. I gave this book 4 ⭐️ 2 🌶️ I loved that she saved all her firsts for him and he definitely took them.

I recommend this book if you like a broody boy and a snarky sassy princess. This is the book for you.

Happy reading everyone 📚
