Goodreads Rating: 3.75 stars

Goodreads Summary:

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

My Thoughts:

It’s hard for me to like a book when I don’t like the characters. Laney was my favorite character which was good… I guess, but she still lacked something. I felt sympathetic towards her and wanted her to succeed in her revenge, but I had a hard time connecting with her.

My absolute favorite part of this book was the fact that we didn’t learn Laney’s motivations for a while. I knew she had some sort of plan, but I couldn’t tell who were her allies and who were her enemies. I really liked that aspect of the book and thought it was well done. The reveal was a tad bit disappointing (I don’t know what I was expecting, but I was expecting it to be a bit more dramatic). All in all, I thought that part of the book was fantastic.

This book contained a lot of drug use, drinking, exploitation, and immorality. I had a hard time caring about these characters because in my opinion they were mes their own lives to a big extent.

I liked this book overall because of the suspense and twisty storyline.
