Rly liked this!! Not higher just bc it was too short for me to completely loved but I did enjoy. I could see how the way it’s written wouldn’t be for everyone but I liked it. Also think it would make a great tv show tbh

This book was so well written. It was so easy to imagine the look of the island and to get connected with the characters. My jaw is still on the floor from the ending

this book was all over the place- the plot was confusing and very boring, the ‘romance’ was very cliche and again boring and there wasn’t much personality to any of the characters just a basic outline. i was quite disappointed because of booktok hyped it up so much.i felt like i almost missed something?

i’m only giving this more than a one because i finished it in a day. i really liked the first few chapters but it all started just going downhill about page 80 ish. WHY DID THEY HAVE TO SAY THEIR LAST NAME ON EVERY PAGE???? like we get that your rich and all the things wrong with society.

all the characters personalities revolved around their name and their money like none of them had defining qualities except johnny and gat (i still don’t get why they are called the liars) who i both couldn’t connect with either. it really annoyed me how ‘the liars’ we supposed to be close but i never felt like they were with eachother. finally, the ending was very rushed and so badly done it made me want to scream. do not recommend

also justice for the dogs

Edit: I do know how I feel about it. I’m kinda mad.

……I don’t know how I feel about that.

I’ve read this “plot style” before, and I think I can officially say that I do not like books with polarizing endings.

This book kept me engrossed and I was clueless as to what happened til it was revealed. Enjoyed the writing and characters.
