I was given the opportunity to read this book thanks to the publisher and netgalley!
Overall, I enjoyed this read. It was a quick wonderful escape from reality. Between the fake dating, the found family, the girl power, the teamwork .. .etc There was so much happening, but it wrapped up nicely. In the novel we follow Doe as she completes her last year at Weston School (which is an all-girls boarding school) and she deals with the changes coming ahead. The Weston she knows, and loves is subject to change in a massive way when it combines with the Winfield Academy (the all-boys school across the road) and her greatest enemy at the time! Because of this upcoming change her prank work against the boys (a student known as Three in particular) becomes much more intense and internally important for her to win. But after students come forwards about a particular teacher and the SA Doe must decide if her war with Three is what is truly important or if protecting those who come after her at the school should be her priority. Add in there a fake romance (turned real romance) that is started simply to get under Three's skin. The complications of real family as well as found family and the relationships that develop within ones life.
