About this listen

When we were ten we made a pact. When we were twelve she moved away. Now she’s sixteen and returned home.

Hunter

We made the pact when we were ten.

It would be the end of our friendships, we said.

We all agreed. Mila was off limits.

I broke the pact when I was twelve…I wont break it again.

Jace

Mila was my best friend, my neighbor and first crush, but she wasn't just mine.

We made a pact to save our friendships.

Only I broke that pact the day she left. I won't make that mistake again.

Roman

Mila was my sunshine, my fighter…my heart.

I broke the pact and she still left.

She destroyed me with that first and last kiss.

Now I fight the monsters alone. I won’t let her in again.

Mila

Jace, Hunter and Roman.

The four of us were best of friends growing up.

The last time I saw them all, I kissed them goodbye.

I broke their pact before I left, thinking I would never return.

All three believe they were my first kiss.

But I will never kiss and tell.

They have made one thing very clear: the pact still stands.

The Pact is book one in the Rebels of Ridgecrest High, a reverse harem romance series. It contains themes of light bullying and violence.

Multi POV - In my head these characters are several years older, as this does not give high school vibes in the way Euphoria does not give high school vibes!

Mila was forced to move away with her mom when she was 12, leaving behind her three best friends -Neighbour Jace, Nerdy Hunter and shy Roman.

Now, she is back. And they are mad she has ignored them for years - but they are still keeping the pact, that NONE of them will ever make a move on her. Except, she kissed them all in secret before leaving years ago!

They are the centre trio of the football team, and they are all hot now, of course.

ANYWAY - there is a hot stepbrother in the mix as well, just friends but in the inner circle. Oh, and Jace's brother.

Its a fun read, it's got some cute moments and I love the multi POV.

Tropes:
Childhood friends to lovers
homecoming
High School Football
Stepbrother


Its also got a LOT of triggers - attempted SA, drugged drinks, a really messed up mom relationship, the boys have some complexities like alcoholic and abusive parents - but overall I liked it and jumped into book two.

I listened to the audio, and the narrators did a FABULOUS job!

We're all pretending this is a college romance...

I love #why choose but when they're adults. Mila seems to be this pedistal living angelic creature that makes all these boys lives better.
I'm team Roman. Even though I know it's wc
