This book pulled my heart out of my chest and ripped to pieces before stamping on it. Its an intense look at how peoples flaws can make them or break them. It also looks at the effects the people we surround ourselves with have on us.

I'm sad to say that I feel so indifferent to this book after I just finished reading it. 

I'm not sure if it was because tropes like this have been used so many times. Or the insta love or what I don't know, but I wasn't really feeling the soulmate everlasting love this book was presenting us to believe. I just didn't feel the spark between them. I didn't really feel their emotional connection at all.

I found everything in the book pretty textbook/predictable. Nothing in this book shocked me or was surprising. I highkey don't ever think you need to read it to know what happens. Maybe the characters and their life style just wasn't my type of read. I don't know.

I didn't really care much for the characters and just wanted the book to be over. I just wasn't in it. I'm not sure why. 

This may be why I didn't find the ending as emotional as it's portrayed to be. I didn't cry once the entire book including the ending. 

Overall it was pretty average to me. I didn't hate it, but I don't really care much for it either. So therefore, I will not be reading the sequel. Plus I feel like I already know what's gonna happen. I bet Kacey and the brother, Theo get together. They were alluding to it the whole book.
