Almost DNF'd this one. It got SO much better in the last 75 pages. Desperately needed more world building at the front of the book.

I would have said at least a 3.25 if it did not have an SA scene, so that is the only thing that let it get more than a 0. I was not expecting it it literally came out of nowhere and was the only explicit scene in the whole book. 


Crying score: no.

I was told it was going to be like Haunting Adeline, however it feels like a darker version of the Shatter Me Series. I will probably continue the series although with reading shatter me before hand, it does feel like a reread but with smaller twist. There wasn’t much background information so I kinda felt confused the whole time. The characters were kinda difficult to remember, like it was hard to match personalities with names. Not terrible but could be better.There weren’t really intense parts except for the end.

I think this is what they call a bully romance, almost DNF'd because they really are *mean* but the story has potential, I'd like a little more world building as I feel it's gone straight to fiesty teen drama without all the cool fantasy elements
