This book is too good! It started out kind of predictable with the whole guy falls in love with new student scenario, but it quickly got a lot better. And mmmm NOAH SHAW♥♥♥♥
3,5
Generalnie fabuła jest naprawdę fajna i z chęcią dałabym tej książce więcej geiazdek, gdyby nie styl pisania. Nie wiem czy to autorka czy tłumaczka tu zawiniły, ale większość dialogów jest tak niezręczan, że naprawdę ciężko mi się je czytało. Opisy raczej są okej, chociaż też zdarzały się momenty, że myślałam, że rzucę tą książką w kąt i do niej nie wrócę, ale dialogi? Okropieństwo.
WYPIERDUPEK??? Co to ma być???

WYPIERDUPEK??? Co to ma być???
this was a struggle to read. parts of it, i loved. her memory coming back to her, the deaths, the writing was beautiful, the dialogue often funny. parts of it, i could deal with. a loosely connected plot, an obvious big dark secret. others, i couldn't stand. the love interest, the cliches, the CLICHES.
i want to love it, i do. a supernatural mystery with romance and a private school???? sign me up. but in reality, it felt so done. noah was a british bad boy who smokes and speaks multiple languages and is rich af but misunderstood: can we say instalove anyone. and every single girl in the book hates maya, oh my god, please stop. jamie, on the other hand, WAS GREAT. i did love maya's relationship with her siblings, but it was barely delved into.
i was torn between two stars and three, but seeing as i'm continuing to read the next one, it's only fair i add the extra star of keeping me hooked in the end regardless.

Vamos por partes; definitivamente está dirigido para un público más joven, lo que no significa que no lo haya disfrutado pero probablemente a mis 27 años no sea lo mejor para mí. Pasando eso de lado, esta el tema de los protagonistas, al inicio las interacciones entre los protagonistas se me hacían muy extrañas y sentí que el tema de la atracción se dio demasiado rápido (luego hay una explicación de por que se dio de esa manera, así que le puedo restar importancia). Durante la mayor parte del libro te van mostrando partes de la inestabilidad mental de Mara pero no es hasta el final que medio entiendes que pasa (y digo medio, porque aún no está del todo claro como funciona todo). Siento que prepararon un terreno por mucho tiempo para que el final fuera lo que fuera, no tenia mucho sentido, igualmente si te pica para seguir leyendo pero al menos para mí no es una prioridad. Lo recomendaría? No lo sé.

So there are parts I really liked, and parts I really didn't like.
Liked: The humor and wittiness was awesome. like I didn't expect this book to be as funny as it was.
The Romance: It was cute and totally teenagery. I felt like it brought out my inner teenager and I totally loved it.
The Storyline: I totally digged the story. I thought it was interesting and totally kept me hooked through the whole thing.
Dislikes:
Mara: Now, sometimes I did like her, and I get that she's supposed to be flawed, but man she was super whinny and needy sometimes. I think the needy part bugged me more than the whinny part though, just because I felt like she needed everyone to take care of her.
The highschool: Now I get that she goes to this super snotty high school, but it's hard for me to believe that almost EVERY student is just horrible. A lot of things in this book just didn't quite add up.
All in all, I really did enjoy this book, and I could not put it down.

To whoever told me this guy was just like Aaron Warner, count your days.
This was such a shitty read, and I had to force myself not to cringe throughout this mind-numbing book.
I honestly deserve a Nobel Prize for not lighting this shit on fire and calling it a day.

4.5⭐️ this book was beyond good. i loved noah so much. i think that i haven't giggled and kicked my feet in the air because of a book bf in such a long time, so it felt good to have that feeling back. and the fact that he calls her his girl, literally melting throughout the whole book. although i was confused for the better part of the book or maybe the whole book actually i still enjoyed it very much. and the ending left me speechless. the fact that he's alive changes everything.
OH MY GOD. THIS BOOK WILL SERIOUSLY BE THE DEATH OF ME.
My heart was pounding like crazy all throughout, and I think I almost stopped breathing at the most gripping parts. It gave me so much emotion than I could have ever felt in a single sitting.
I'm confused but in a good way, because the way the story is written makes you really think (and overthink) things over - which of them are real and which are just hallucinations or delusions. I feel as if I'm going insane like the main character, Maya. I keep on guessing what will happen next, but every page is so unpredictable that I just gave up and let myself go with the flow. It gave me the chills and I'm totally spooked especially at that unexpected cliffhanger.
I am so caught up with the relationship between Maya and Noah. I find myself rooting for them - they fit together perfectly and they are the only ones who can handle each other's "crazy". One minute they're playful, and then when things get seriously weird and creepy, they are there to make each other feel better.
This book had captured my heart from the moment Noah came into the picture. Noah Shaw is undeniably one of my top book boyfriends now. He never let go of Mara (no matter how freaky she is) and he always have her back. Of course, it's convenient that he is also the hottest bad boy in school, is sinfully rich, has a dark sense of humor (which is my kind of humor), and oh, he has a BRITISH ACCENT. If that doesn't make you fall for him, then I don't know what else will.
So, I know I'm not making any sense for the most part of this review. I think my brain cells were sucked in by the book, and there's nothing left for me to be able to write a proper review right now.
That's how affected I am of this. I had read this non-stop and I couldn't put it down, literally. When I had to pee, eat, or whatever I had to do, I would bring this book and keep on reading as if my life depends on it. If I have any regrets, it is that I haven't read this sooner (took me 5 years to pick this up), and have almost missed this unbelievably stunning piece of work.
