I was so dissapointed with this book and don't really understand the hype that seemed to surround this book when it came out. Maybe it just wasn't meant for me.

A beautifully emotional read, with complex, flawed characters that are somehow superbly relatable and realistic. Lighthearted and yet deep and challenging, an engaging, fun read.

wow, that was a piece of a great book. nuanced, well-written, fun to read. 

i loved, once again, the way Reid creates female characters - complex, complicated, powerfull, unapologetic, full of rage and with a big heart at the same time. 

the dynamic between the characters was just *chef's kiss*. 

glad for the author to make such good choices within the plot - which were apparently much better for the book itself, rather than to please the readers. it made the story have many more layers and depth you can explore
