About this listen
We were supposed to be best friends....
But turned out to be worst enemies.
Penn
They say revenge is a dish best served cold.
I’d had four years to stew on what Daria Followhill did to me, and now my heart was completely iced.
I took her first kiss.
She took the only thing I loved.
I was poor.
She was rich.
The good thing about circumstances? They can change. Fast.
Now, I’m her parents’ latest shiny project. Her housemate. Her tormentor. The captain of the rival football team she hates so much.
Yeah, baby girl, say it - I’m your foster brother.
There’s a price to pay for ruining the only good thing in my life, and she’s about to shell out some serious tears.
Daria Followhill thinks she is THE queen. I’m about to prove to her that she’s nothing but a spoiled princess.
Daria
Everyone loves a good old, unapologetic punk.
But being a bitch? Oh, you get slammed for every snarky comment, cynical eye roll, and foot you put in your adversaries’ way.
The thing about stiletto heels is that they make a hell of a dent when you walk all over the people who try to hurt you.
In Penn Scully’s case, I pierced his heart until he bled out, then left it in a trash can on a bright summer day.
Four years ago, he asked me to save all my firsts for him.
Now he lives across the hall, and I want nothing more than to be his last everything.
His parting words when he gave me his heart were that nothing in this world is free.
Now? Now he is making me pay.
©2019 L.J. Shen (P)2019 Audible, Inc.Bad Boy from the wrong side of the tracks ends up being fostered by one of the Original HotHoles Jaime Fallowhill who unknowingly let the wolf through his daughter Daria's front door. Loved getting the glimpses of Hunter, Luna, Knight & Vaughn along with the cameo's from the older HotHole generation. Jamie is such a great dad in this series, especially when it comes to laying down the law to the teenage boy who sets his sights on daddys lil girl.

The first book in the series focuses on the trope of the “mean girl/high school princess“, but joker style helps you to unpick and understand her and inevitably root for her. The way Shen writes Daria’s loneliness is magnificent, and the story itself I found complex and beautiful- like its characters. There’s always something that anchors her stories to our world, whether it’s pop culture references, music, or in this case poetry. The journal entries at the beginning of each chapter throughout this story themselves I found genuinely poetic and honestly so raw I wanted to cry. They were such a clever and tantalising way to update the reader on both Daria and Penns’ emotional progress and stance before each new chapter, and the way they’re written and develop and eventually come together is stunning. The voice acting in this story I also found fantastic, they really embodied their characters.
All of the books in this series are satisfying; each character addictive in their inherent imperfection and complex back story. A good reminder that everyone is dealing with something, even if you can’t see it.
Not so guilty pleasure

This is one of my favourite authors, so much so that I have listen to many collections within a matter of days! They are always well written, there is always a lot of depth to the stories and I always appreciate the intertwining of other books.
This story has made me happy, sad and cried a little. I started it thinking that I would dislike the main female character and ended with feeling empathy and sorrow for her. I related to how the outside of her life was completely different to her internal struggles and I feel that's what has made me enjoy listening to this book.
Humans can sometimes be so cruel.....
