I am not enjoying this book so far so, I am going to take a break and read something else. Hopefully I will come back to this book later since I own a physical copy.

I am currently binging on audible's free catalogue which is always hit and miss. This was a hit! Despite being a classic/tired hunger games/school-competition/vengeance/dystopia kind of plot, it was done well and the world was engaging. I'd better add the remainder of the series to my list (I think the 2nd book is currently free too and the 3rd will be worth the credit/$15. (I think it's a trilogy then another trilogy after or something? I'll probably just binge the first trilogy then give it a rest). Good thing I listened to it instead of read it too, turns out I hate the camelCase styling of the words/technology (dunno why, but I do. Kicks me right out of the book-world. Maybe because I'm a programmer.)

Loveddd this book I speed ran the ending tho because I had to finish it for school last night and it was already 2:30 so I got no idea what happened but I’ll re read the part anyways. My one complaint is bro checking out the other girls it was really annoying and I realllyyy don’t want him to get another girl that fast yk. But it was a really good book nevertheless but I was also wondering the whole time “when is this hunger games thing going to end” because it just went on and on and on and I could not but it’s a good book

Edit: IM RE READING THE ENDING CAUSE I CANT REMEMBER AND HE KISSES MUSTANG OH IM SO MADDDD DBRUHJ UGHHHH
