I’m sorry? I just did not like this book. Might add more to this review later.

SPOILERS ABOUT THE END ARE INCLUDED IN THIS REVIEW

Once upon a time, there was a girl with three words after reading this book. What. The. Fuck.

and I mean this in the best way possible.

Oh God. Words can’t describe how I feel about this book. I must say, I didn’t cry, but my eyes did water quite a bit. The Sinclair’s story is definitely an interesting one and I throughly enjoyed the craft behind this book. The letters at the end, the ones written by Gat, were a beautiful addition to this story.

I’ll admit that the mixed reviews definitely stopped me —for quite a while— from reading this book, but it’s literally one of the best things I’ve read this year. At first, it was a tad bit boring, but as soon as started to understand what was happening it was as if everything suddenly clicked together.Personally, I did suspect the ending; not necessarily the burning part, but I could tell that Gat, Mirren, and Johnny were dead.

I’m definitely tempted to read all books by E. Lockhart after this.

i cried for an hour straight after the plot twist. did not know before hand that this was a sad book😭
Also, this was a super fast read (it took less than a day to read) (but it was a very heavy read so you might want to spread it out for a week or something)!
