This was the Twilight for me. I did not care for Twilight while I had this book in front of me.
Sadly, this series doesn't get near the amount of love it should as it fell victim to the Divergent movie curse (fun fact you used to be able to find the film on Hulu, it's crap, don't watch it, it's one of those series that really benefits from a tv series).
Though I totally forgot about the minor transphobia and even though I've read this book several times, I still don't understand the final battle.
Nostalgia may be what makes me rate this so high to be honest.

gabi_w21's review against another edition
Luce is one of the dumbest MCs I've ever read. She acknowledges that Cam is sweet and so nice to her yet she obsesses over the boy who flipped her off? She's creepy when it comes to him—looking at his record and searching up his family name—but she doesn't even try to stay away or ignore him, regardless of how he treats her (aka like shit.) And the amount of hate she has for Gabbe for no reason—is it because she's a pretty blonde? Because she incorrectly thought Gabbe was Daniel's girlfriend? It was like Kate took all the bad traits of Bella Swan and amplified the stupid and obsessiveness. Molly, though, I can understand but her instant hatred for Luce didn't make any sense. And the amount of cryptic dialogue is ridiculous, especially from Molly. Also anyone else find it weird how the ONLY characters to get full-fledged descriptions are all white? That the only Black character gets “he has dreadlocks” as a descriptor?

I don’t like this book at all. It’s literally a school of emos with thirty page chapters and has transphobic remarks in it. I really wished I could enjoy it but there is no part I can actually take seriously and the length of the chapters puts me off more
