3.5
now this book was really good, but I kind of don't know how to feel about it? Like there were certain parts that I really loved, but I was also kind of bored for a good part of the book.
now lets talk about the first half (angel/fereshtahs half). i love the ark and I love the way angel and juliet (calling angel angel because I can actually spell it properly) love the ark, and I know that if the ark was real I would probably also be a fangirl. i also love how they weren't portrayed as like annoying teenagers that go way too far for their fandom, and how they are kind of compared to the crazy fans. now mac. mac genuinely sucks and I hate him lol.
moving on to jimmys part of the story, I LOVE the dynamics between each member of the ark and the way they all have their individual problems and fears and loves, and how they deal with those problems as a whole. i LOVE the way rowan supports jimmy through his anxiety and panic attacks. and by the end, I loved the relationships between each character in the trio. and people say trios don't work lol.
now the end of the book. i LOVED so much of what was going on, but at the same time some of it felt kinda drawn out longer than it needed to be. and then the actual ending ending. well safe to say I did not see that coming. that ending hit out of NO WHERE. like yes I was expecting something to happen but what actually happened??? damn.
anyway 3.5 isn't a bad rating, and it might change as I have more time to think about the book and what actually happened. as always I still recommend this book as well as the rest of alice osemans books :)

Things I did not like:
1. I thought the plot was weird, and at times it made me a little uncomfortable…
2. Some of the characters!
3. While I liked that it deals with some bigger topics such as identity and mental health, I did not like how it felt glossed over.
Also would definitely recommend checking the trigger warnings before reading:)
