It had typos galore, a main character who seemed to switch up every few pages, and wacky romanticisation of awful traits. 

That being said, I will still read the rest of the series.

Another book that belongs in the 'reasons why you can't trust strangers' category. Knew I wouldn't enjoy it right from the start and I contemplated DNFing it, but it's not really in my nature to DNF things. I honestly should've though because what if I died tomorrow and this was the last thing I read... 

I found the writing and sentence structure to be juvenile, clunky and awkward, but besides that I really can't give any criticism on any other parts of the story (plot, characters, chemistry) because I didn't care. The writing itself was too distracting for me and I believe this book would've benefited from at least another round of edits/editors.
