I hated it. I hated the story, I hated the characters, I hated absolutely everything about it and I do not know why I made it to the end.
This is bully RH. I knew it even though the second part of the duet called it "a light bully romance". But what I did not expect was entering one hell of a toxic romance.
Because, let's be real, what is more romantic than being coerced into a relationship?

Punk 57 is the story of Misha and Ryen who had been pen pals for years. Every thing was perfect. They were friends, they told each other everything. Until three month ago, when Misha stopped writing.
I want to say I loved it, because I did. But I hated it. I want to say I loved Misha and Ryen, because I did. But I hated them.
Misha was a douchebag. A broken douchebag who thought hurting the girl he loved was exciting. Ryen was a bitch, a bully. She was mean to everyone, superficial and fake. Misha was angry at Ryen for lying to him, and Ryen was angry for lying to herself.
These two characters were my biggest issue about the book, but also the main strenght. I felt so many things for them ; love, hate, disdain, frustration, pity. I hated them so much for the choices they could make, but I also wanted so much to see them happy and growing up. They were sad, pitiful teens, but they deserved to be happy as much as everyone else. I wanted to punch them. I wanted to slap Ryen for not standing for the unpopular kids even if she wanted to. I wanted to slap Misha for being such an asshole and lying to Ryen. I felt so many things. I was so angry at them. I wanted to help them to make things right. But they had to do that by themselves, because some things cannot be teached.
Punk 57made me cry. Punk 57made me smile. Punk 57made me feel. Punk 57drove me mad.

triggers triggers triggers seriously, this story is much darker than I expected. and the prequel is seriously creepy.
so the book was totally predictabletriggers triggers triggers seriously, this story is much darker than I expected. and the prequel is seriously creepy.
so the book was totally predictable in a "i totally knew who was her kidnapper right away", especially with the prequel's help. but what was totally unpredictable is how dark and graphic everything was.
i kinda liked the book but also kinda did not because of the super-fast romance that made low-key no sense. it did a 180 in two sentences and I would have loved to see more of a slow burn in all this tragic mess.
trigger warning (prequel and book 1) graphic depiction of: stalking, torture, stalking, rape, and assault. there are also a few stuff i can't say cause spoilers but not for the faint of heart....more
