dnf at 40%. I tried. But the writing turned me off constantly and it’s too insta-lovey I didn’t feel chemistry.

Why the fuck would you write this book, Nicole? And why the fuck did you make me read this kendyl ʚ♡⃛ɞ? I am bawling my eyes out right now. My heart is torn and my mind is fuzzy and I don't know what to do with myself. But I'm going to go ahead typing this review as tears fall over my keyboard anyways.
Short Summary
Mia Rose Jett is a nineteen year old girl who has emotional detachment disorder. To avoid being sent to a mental institution because of her behavior, her father ships her off to a university in the UK which housed deranged and dangerous young adults who viewed the private institution as their own personal playground. Mia doesn't know why she is this way but Dolor University is a roller coaster ride for her which will ignite the memory in her brain.
Oliver (Ollie) Masters is a unique person in Mia's life, changing the way she is and sees the world. He's a beautiful man with bright green eyes and black inky tattoos. He just so happens to be a poet as beautiful as he looks. With him being Mia's safe haven at Dolor, things escalate.
My Opinion
I fucking adored this book. The author's writing is so beautiful and soothing that I just want to be captivated by her words all day. The way she strung letters to make words, and words to string together sentences is out of this world. As a beginning writer (an unpublished one, of course, because I lack confidence lol), I am inspired to write like Nicole.
The characters were so fun and interesting which made me want to know more. Although the author doesn't say as much about everyone besides Ollie and Mia, I still felt like I could connect with everyone. And boy did I connect (if you couldn't tell by the rating).
I smiled, laughed, giggled, squealed, screamed, cried, etc, all throughout this book. It was so amazing to feel all those emotions at once because that's the type of feeling I love when I read a book, not being aware of the words on the page, just the world the author has created which I can visualize in my brain.
The Ending
I need to know what happens after, oh, my Gosh. The cliffhanger. I am so mad right now that this is not on Kindle Unlimited (I have to return my Kindle anyways because of a bug in the system), or in any of my local libraries. Like why must you make me suffer? I swear to God, humanity has died down-
Well, thank you for reading my review and I highly suggest you read this book whenever you can as soon as possible because I want to know your guys' opinions and to scream about how good this book is if you like it(of course you would like it though, why wouldn't you? If you don't, I'm sorry but I don't need you to add to the decreasing of humanity in our world, so I'll just take this knife- oops-). I hope you all have a great day, my lovely readers!

3.5 i liked most of this book. even loved some parts. ollie and mia are characters you (at least i) want to root for. their situation (feelings, mental health, past…) is pretty complicated but they bring the best in the other. i want them to have their happy ending
that being said :
- the book was repetitive and the story dragged on endlessly
- what’s this obsession with non consent / rape ? from mia being raped by her uncle when she was a child, to ollie being molested/raped at parties when he was unconscious to oscar to bria to even that officer’s sister ?? the group kept playing these weird games and characters said no yet ended up having to do stuff they weren’t willing to do ??
- what’s with this ending ?? this book is long enough for no good reason there’s no need for another one, and no need to undo everything that was built to have ollie now rejecting mia
i want to know what will happen but i don’t really feel like reading another book that will no doubt be built in the same way…

This book is good. Like really good. This has been in my bookshelf for so long. It's definitely different, hits a sweet spot for anyone to feel for Mia and Ollie. Even their friends which I will only be counting as Jake and Alice.
It breaks your heart as Mia navigates of having to feel things and then it heals you as Ollie tries to bring her back each time. Their love was just... *chef's kiss*

honestly kinda disappointed it was such an interesting premise one where she could feel nothing and he could feel everything but it wasn’t done right. i think if there was a supernatural element to this it would have made a better book. but the reason i’m giving it such a low rating is bc there were several serious topics that weren’t addressed well, not only that but i hated how dependent they were to heal idk i think they both needed to do that on their own. with that said i stilled loved mia and noah and my heart hurts for the both of them. but the other characters were something else…

"Whatever happens, don't turn it off. You have to stay with me even when I'm gone, alright?"
I love this book with every inch of my soul
It can do no wrong there are no mistakes on my death bed if I can only bring one thing with me it will be these books, maybe my husband, but hopefully he'll die before me so I wouldn't have to make that choice

Holy cow. This book was even better than I was anticipating. This book hasn’t even been released yet and I’m dying for book 2. I already know it’s gonna crush me. So this book is about Mia who has emotional detachment. She gets into some trouble and is sent to a mental university type place. She ends up meeting a group of people who can’t seem to leave her alone. They want to include her in everything they do. One of those people is Oliver or Ollie as everyone calls him. Ollie has emotional intensity so he feels all emotions which is the opposite of Mia. Anyways, they form a good connection and he helps her through some panic attacks and whatnot. She struggles to go to counseling and figure out why she’s the way she is. I can’t even keep typing or I’m going to spill the entire story here. All I’m saying is, if you read the blurb and it seems interesting to you, then READ THIS BOOK. It’s probably better than your expectations. And it’s definitely worth the time to read. Can’t wait for book 2!
