Good book. I liked it but not as much as I thought.

Not in the mood for it right now 😒 

2.5

This book came highly recommended from several people. The first 10 pages or so almost made me stop reading it because it made no sense. I kept going though and I am glad I did. The book was unique in that it had this apocolyptic backdrop but was ultimately a romance novel Very interesting. My favorite character was Jeb....very good book! Don't be scared to read this book even though the author wrote Twilight.

Not my usual genre and it started slow for me but it was a great read and I was sad when it was done!

A fantasy world I could lose myself in and amazing characters.

I reread this book every year or so. It has its flaws, but I don't care about any of them. I LOVE these characters, and the world-building, and the relationships (platonic, romantic, and complicated), and all of the mind-sharing angst.
