I really enjoyed this book - almost gave it 5 stars. I enjoyed the fact that the book and pages were more chaotic at the beginning and eased off throughout the book to reflect her mental state. The depictions of her loneliness and desperation to be touched were heartbreaking. I cannot wait to read the rest of this series.

This book is not particularly well-written. The characters are pretty generic YA dystopian, it’s unrealistic in many ways, and I don’t really get who Juliette is. That being said, the vibe of the book is right up my alley. The freeform and intrusive thoughts and weird metaphors and all that stuff is super fun and vibey to me, and I really love reading about crazy girls.

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.

I feel like this is one of those books that you have to get through and then the rest of the series is really good. I know a lot of people love this book but I just wasn’t feeling it. The love interests got together a little too quickly for me and faced little conflicts. The whole book I was waiting for this twist but it never came. I did like the authors choice to use repetition and crossing out words to show the main character’s development. Overall it was okay, but that’s all it was.
