this book was so good?? such a fun read with a very interesting plotline. i loved reading the different perspectives. logan was definitely super creepy but delilah isn't technically a good person either so um.. very mixed feelings about the characters but overall it's a good read!

I loved the idea of this book, but the execution falls flat for me. I want to read about a very toxic love obsessed boy, as I'm sure many of us had to unfortunately deal with in high school. But the writing was way too rushed for me, especially toward the end, and I could have gone without the

drug subplot

as I feel what happened in the beginning was enough. I loved that the book did not hand waive away the relationship and portayed it exactly how it was, which I am so glad that the book does that, instead of making excuses for it like a million YA, and even a lot of Adult "romances" and romances in not quotes do. Not sure if it was just my copy, but i did not see a list of resources for readers who may be dealing with similar experiences that occur in the book, which i have wonderdfully seen some authors do, but was lacking in this one which rubbed me the wrong way, but again may have been my copy.  The great premise was there, but the sub par writing did not hold it through.

For most of the book, I was expecting to learn more about Sophie. Although Sophie still feels like a mystery to me, Delilah’s story made up for it. I really enjoyed Delilah’s character besides the parts in library, but then, the ending had me wanting more!

Like the show “YOU” with a twist. The ending fell a little short for me I was hoping for more. However I enjoyed the book
