vikcs's review against another edition

Too happy-go-lucky, hippy , sunshine for my taste.

Super cute, I loved this book, it wasn't all doom and gloom. The h knows about her power, she knows who she is and she doesn't care what anyone thinks. This is the first book in the series, the cover caught my attention and decided to give this book a go, and I am so happy I did. I can't wait for the second one.

This was such a cute book! I really liked this story and all the characters were really cool!

Overall I’d give this 5 stars. I look forward to continuing this series!

I enjoyed this book. However, it was kinda cringey sometimes, and fell victim to YA tropes. The most in-your face being the “I’m not like other girls” trope. I cannot count how many times the guys were like, “you’re not like other girls. You eat food. Other girls DON’T like cheeseburgers. Oh my god, you eat SO MUCH, how do u have that incredibly skinny waist.” I don’t know man. It’s tired.

However, I actually really liked Cricket as a character. It’s not often that you have a female YA lead that is secure in her sexuality. Unlike so many other books, this female was not some delicate, pure virgin-flower. She knows what she wants. I appreciated that.

My last gripe with the book; it was incrediblyyyyy slow. Nothing happened throughout the entire book. And everything took place within a couple days. I just spent the entire time like… ok. So… when’s she gonna turn 18?

This is cotton candy lol. Very sweet but it’s probably won’t stick in my mind long. A very sweet light hearted RH. Low angst not a lot of drama. I’ll probably keep reading it he series in between more serious books. Cricket is a Mary sue but it’s not annoying me as much as it does in other books
