Too many characters in my opinion. Felt a little all over the place. But is an interesting premise.

It started off really slow but it picks up in the last few chapters if you stick with it and now I want to read the second.

I don't understand why everything has to be a series. This does not have an ending.

4.25
I really enjoyed reading this book and found myself not wanting to put it down between chapters regularly.
I decided I couldn't rate it higher than I have however for a couple reasons:
Firstly I couldn’t get onboard with the Atlas/Avery relationship. Too weird given she was 5 when he became her brother - very young - which made the whole thing a bit gross and not something I could root for. Secondly the ending was too open-ended for this to be entirely stand alone. The final chapter eluded to a sequel, by pointing out open questions a little too obviously, however this is the sort of book I think could have benefited from being stand alone personally.
Having said all that thought, I still gave it 4.25 as I really did enjoy reading it, I just had a couple qualms.

livinthebubble's review against another edition
It's a phat no from me. I don't even feel the need to explain but here are things that made me cringe/not want to even own this book:
a) Incest vibes
"All her life she'd been hearing how beautiful she was - from teachers, boys, her parents. By now the phrase had lost all meaning. Atlas, her adopted brother, was the only one who knew better than to compliment her."
"On the other end of the call was Atlas, her brother - and the reason she never wanted to kiss anyone else."
If that isn't enough of a nope idk what is.
b) Love triangle
c) The following words: Halluci-lighter and eartennas
d) There's a character named Cord
