I regret buying this box set on Black Friday
This series had better improve greatly
What the fuck was the point of this book
I don't understand anything
Juliette can you just fucking listen for one fucking minute
Is everyone in this dystopian world insanely attractive
Is that why everyone is so horny
This was okay enough to keep me engaged and I suppose I will read the next one to figure out what the hell going on.

I think I missed the time frame where I would have eaten this up.  There's a lot of world building that happens that is super intriguing but the romance element is juvenile (intentionally since it makes sense for the characters) but I cannot stop cringing.

I don't know if I will continue, I might read the Destroy Me novella since it's at the end of my copy from the library and see how I feel about it then.

Got me out of my book slump! Absolutely obsessed! Slow at first but after the first few chapters I was hooked. So many great and relatable quotes in such a dystopian novel. Just wish there was more diversity, most of the characters are described as white with blonde hair and blue eyes and society’s perception of “beautiful”. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series though with (hopefully) more diversity. Also such a gasping read.
