Corrupt - Penelope Douglas

⭐3 / 5 🌶️ 3 / 5

This book wasn’t for everyone and off the bat many said it’s one of their least favourite Penelope Douglas book. (Only up from here eh!)

It’s a bully romance, childhood friend/ex-bfs brother, a group of boys who are out to get revenge on the FMC.

The first 50% felt long but really picked up in the second half. A lot of the bullying was rape threats, no thanks not for us.

We did like how the story kept you reading wanting to know what happened. The ending escalated quickly, that steam room scene?! Here for it but where did that come from?!

Not bad but not for everyone it seems.
