Aaron literally
sexually assaulted Juliette.
I don't care if he had a special reason which is reveled later on. It's still just as bad and he should've listened.

When I started reading this book I really wasn’t a fan but by the end I have been debating reading the next one? 
I didn’t love it but I’m intrigued to see if the story gets better as the series continues? 
I also wasn’t a big fan of the writing style- just personal preference but I know there will be people out there who adore it!! 
Who knows maybe I’ll love the series if I keep reading it but for now a 2.

Got me out of my book slump! Absolutely obsessed! Slow at first but after the first few chapters I was hooked. So many great and relatable quotes in such a dystopian novel. Just wish there was more diversity, most of the characters are described as white with blonde hair and blue eyes and society’s perception of “beautiful”. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series though with (hopefully) more diversity. Also such a gasping read.

I brought this book last year because I was seeing a lot of hype for the series but DNFed it because I just couldn't get into it. I decided to give it another go again this year because I was seeing more love for the series, and whilst I did manage to finish the book I am still not sure I agree with all the hype. The second half of the book is certainly better than the first, though not by much. I'm not a huge fan of the writing style with the strikethrough and the insane amount of hyperbole - I understand that that is a conscious choice made by the author and that it plays into the story but I am still not a fan. I am also didn't really enjoy how fast the relationship within the book moved. I know YA books are infamous for the fast-moving relationships but this was even worse than usual. I doubt I will be picking up any other books in this series.
