The rich and popular Sharks rule at prestigious, ivy-covered Camden Prep. Once upon a time, I wanted to be part of their world--until they destroyed me.
The last thing I expected was an anonymous love letter from one of them.
Please. I hate every one of those rich jerks for what they did to me. The question is, which Shark is my secret admirer?
Knox, the scarred quarterback.
Dane, his twin brother.
Or Chance, the ex who dumped me. . .
Dear Ava,
Your eyes are the color of the Caribbean Sea.
Wait. That's stupid.
What I really mean is, you look at me and I feel something REAL.
It's been ten months since you were here, but I can't forget you.
I've missed seeing you walk down the hall.
I've missed you cheering at my football games.
I've missed the smell of your hair.
And then everything fell apart the night of the kegger.
Don't hate me because I'm a Shark.
I just want to make you mine.
Still.

For real. It's been a very long time since a book made me stay up late at night to read it and this book truly took me by surprise because I did not expect that.
This was a typical enemies-to-lovers, sans the hardcore bullying that I despise so much in other books. I loved loved the characters.
Ava was such a strong, self-assured character. She came back to prove her attacker didn't break her and she's just a badass.
And Knox is ... I have had heart eyes for him the whole book. He's a moody ass, but he's also a moody possessive ass that writes poetry to Ava and would hurt anyone that would even look at her wrong.
I give Knox my heart. Man, he can have it all.
This book deals with a very heavy subject: rape, which made me love it so much more because it shows that Ava chose to live her life and it shows what she had to go through because people refused to believe her and even bullied her for it. Ava was an outcast in the school.
But not for Knox. For him? She was literally everything he saw, but since she was his friend's ex, he had some moral and stayed away for the sake of it, but he always had her back. Always.
I just can't get over how good this book was. I truly, truly recommend it! It's not like other Madden-Mills's books that were mostly just 'okay' for me, but this one? She really went deep with this one and delivered pure perfection.
