Devil's Day Party by C.M. Stunich -> Starting June 2nd, 2020

[Alaina]

I crashed my shitty yellow VW Beetle into Calix’s Aston Martin.
To be fair, he deserved it.
But Calix and his friends, Barron and Raz, they don’t see it that way.

Not that it matters.
They’ve bullied me for years, and I’ve never known why.
At least today, they have something real to be pissed about.
All of which would be fine, if today was a normal day.
But it’s not. It’s far from normal.
My mantra has always been: this too, shall pass.

But not today.
Not the worst day of my life.
Hot bullies, busted cars, and pain.

Somebody kill me now.

Starting this now!

[Alaina]

25%: (view spoiler)[This makes me think of Before I Fall so I'm wondering what she needs to realize and do before this little loop stops. Is she going to die at the end? Is her friend? I have so many questions. Also this whole devils day, school, and douche crew annoys me. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

52%: (view spoiler)[ugh these boys messing with her head and pearl always dying. So sad. I’m wondering when she’s going to focus on pearl (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

84%: (view spoiler)[Aw I have a feeling she’s going to die (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

100%: (view spoiler)[oh wow. Different ending than what I was expecting. Still pretty good but I kind of feel like the whole bullying thing was glossed over at the end because of how quickly they changed in treating her? Idk maybe it’s me (hide spoiler)]

27% (view spoiler)[damn these guys are so mean to her. I really never understood the concept of bullying people u like and I dunno sure what Calix did was cliche but also fucked up. Guess I’m just waiting for her to get some more serious F’n payback. Also I’m thinking it’s that girl Pearl or her friend Luke who sent the butterfly and uploads the sex tape. (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

58% (view spoiler)[So Calix is my least favorite. The other two kinda won me over but I still think they’re all a$$holes. But I never really like spoiled rich kids much so I think that has a lot to do with it 😂 (hide spoiler)]

60% (view spoiler)[What?!?!? Am I really supposed to believe Calix was a virgin last year and has not been with anyone since. 😳🤦🏽‍♀️😳🤦🏽‍♀️ (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

69% (view spoiler)[It’s so crazy how messed up all the guys are. Glad she found out who sent the sex tape. And I had a bad feeling Pearl was going to commit suicide, I never expected her backstory or her connection to Calix. (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

90% (view spoiler)[oh man I really thought that “day” was gonna be the end (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Finished (view spoiler)[So I mean that was a cute end..... overall i just didn’t love this one. I think had she gotten even a bit more I would be more on board but I’m sorry she took too much from them. And ummmm then the answer, the moment her Groundhog Day day ends happens when she’s pushed so far she tries to kill herself. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ (hide spoiler)]

Yeah, he was definitely a mystery guy as well. Didn't really know where his true feelings were until they were all like - I like you!

Omg yes, that nearly broke my heart with the whole pearl situation.

OMG SAME!

❀ Crystal ✿ - wrote: "Finished [spoilers removed]"

Yeah.. not sure how I feel about that ending. Yes, it was cute but this book just crossed so many lines.

(view spoiler)[Totally agree. I mean at least let the girl get even. Jesus what Calix did to her last year was so beyond cliche and fuc*ed up, I really wanted her to get revenge not get all sweet over them lol. Make them work for it.

In the end I’m glad there was a HEA but on the day she commits suicide, it all just ends, I mean really?! That blows lol (hide spoiler)]

Yeah, I would've loved some more groveling from them.

I was supposed to check in to write down my thoughts and all of that but I actually finished the book in two settings so... this book was addictive, that's for sure! I loved to finally read a RH romance with a twist. I feel like so many are the same stories but this one I think I'm going to remember for a while. I also appreciated that it's a standalone and not part of a series (especially with CM Stunich known for her publication schedule being all over the place).

(view spoiler)[I was scared this book would end with her killing herself and leaving us like that so I'm glad she didn't die though I don't know what she could have told the guys the next day about why she did actually did it without sounding crazy. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[60%- it was kinda unbelievable about Calix but I didn't mind lol

At first, I hated Raz especially when he insulted her moms etc but I don't know, him and Barron really had something interesting about them ^^ (hide spoiler)]

Totally agree. I mean a..."

(view spoiler)[ I understand wanting for her to get revenge on them and wanting them to grovel a bit more and while it would have been nice, it didn't bother me and I still really enjoyed the story. Her re-living the same day over and over was a little tiring in the end and I just wanted them to get an HEA ^^ (hide spoiler)]
