Hello guys I know it's not tomorrow because that was well about two months ago so yeah not sorry but sorry. I'm bored it's late just finished Clockwork Prince want to stop crying so I am here. Volla, your welcome so let's get started.  
Non-spoiler review:
This book is many things, but one thing it isn't is bad in my personal, important, amazing, opinion. This story has so many things and it makes you love all of them. This book didn't make me cry per say but it did make me laugh and happy. It has some dark twists, I don't know what this says about me, but I found it somewhat light hearted. Maybe I'm a fucking psycho. Lock me up. Any who before you guys do that let me continue thank you. The characters made me happy and made me want to be friends with them, but some other times I wanted to strangle them until there breath was in my power and they were on their knee's begging for my mercy. Yeah call the cops I understand really. The plot was amazing although at times it was non-existent at all as in never even there.  The plot and the characters mixed well together and if you don't know what I mean then you will be like me when I wake up in the morning and read this shit. so yeah don't fear your sane I'm not. This is it for the non-spoiler review let me just show the stars.

SPOILER REVIEW: 
Well I expect you have read what was up there but If you haven't then nothing important really happened if you just wanted my thought on all the spoilers and big things in this amazing wonderful story. The plot twist hit me in the gut I like shut the book went back and re-read what I just read. I was like okay that's new. And then fucking Nate went on and pushed Bronwyn away like some lost smart amazing independent poor puppy. Addy was like  a fucking bad ass towards the end and the way she changed and made me love her was crazy. Jake was a fucking loonie and I hated him from the beginning. He was controlling and all that and I don't know why he gave me Alpha-Male vibes like lolololololololololol. 
Okay Simon killing himself and all that surprised me to the core, and I'm stupid so of course I didn't expect this, but I was still shook. And the way Jake and everyone tied into it was like wow. That was something, I was really just surprised. Some things I didn't like about the book are....
1. They kind of dismissed cheating as nothing really and I didn't like that. They acted like it wasn't a big deal when it really was. Cheating on someone can hurt them immensely. I think the first time we know of someone cheating is with Addy. So Addy ended up cheating on Jake with TJ over the summer while Jake was on vacation with his family. I think we are supposed to feel bad for after we get some of this information. Addy was drunk and insecure. And I understand that in a way. It's just the way the author kind of dismissed it like cheating was nothing and it's not. It hurts that person a lot. BUT most of them don't turn out into psychopaths, Jake. Okay the next people we see cheating is.... Cooper. I love cooper okay. He is amazing he is the golden boy amazing. And his situation is more complicated and understandable. He is in the closet so we can understand that more. Don't get me wrong I feel for both of them; just wanted to point that out. Now things I loved in this book.....
1. I shipped Nate and Bronwyn more than anyone in this book. I loved that though they were in a  relationship they didn't get more book time if you know what I mean. just loved it but.... ***cussing ahead***
I don't know why fucking Nate thinks he can do whatever he wants. My first thought was this bitch how dare he. Still ship and I love him too. Always and Forever. Sorry just watched to all the boys I loved before: Always and Forever. anywhooooooo lets continue. 
2. I LOVE how Addy powered up and Girl fucking POWER. I like loved how she was under Jake's shadow and never had her own voice. THEN when they break-up she goes full GIRL POWER don't give a fuck bout nobody except myself thank you I'm not cold just good on my fucking own. 
She cuts the hair Jake loved so much and I was like yes sis do that then she dyed it and I was like yup stan support. next.....
3. I loved the diverse cast It's not as diverse as it could be but I really like how much we got. So we have Bronwyn who I believe is Colombian. or her father is which makes her it. Why am I acting confused ugh. Then we have Copper who is part of the LGBTQ community so yay. SO I did like this wish we had a little more but I still love it. 
now I loved so many things but I know no one is really going to read this but if you lasted this long which is so funny proud of u I guess I don't think I would have stopped reading right after the first cringe joke. I'm thinking of doing a quote at the beginning of each review from the book. Idk I guess since I tab it will be easy just look for the yellow tab. anywho yeah Might start doing that. Peace. Love. Read.
