Surprise in the middle picked the book right up. A very clever read which ambitiously tackled a myriad of issues.

“Sky, I'm not kissing you tonight but believe me when I tell you, I've never wanted to kiss a girl more. So stop thinking I'm not attracted to you because you have no idea just how much I am. You can hold my hand, you can run your fingers through my hair, you can straddle me while I feed you spaghetti, but you are not getting kissed tonight. And probably not tomorrow, either. I need this. I need to know for sure that you're feeling every single thing that I'm feeling the moment my lips touch yours. Because I want your first kiss to be the best first kiss in the history of first kisses.”

Ich wünschte ich hätte mir vorher die Triggerwarnungen dazu durchgelesen. Mein Herz musste nach 3/4 so einiges durchleben.

The end of the book made up for the slow start. I got 200 pages in and not much of substance happened. Mostly setup for the next 200 pages where a lot more happened and my jaw dropped several times. If you can make it through the first half of the book, you will not be disappointed.

This book is a 2.5 star for adults who have had sex before . I’m pretty sure it is a 5 star for 15 year old girls. This is a teen girl’s romance novel which is predictable and basic . Hoover knows how to bring in the cash flow and because this is a series, I’m sure she will be set for a while as Netflix most likely figures out how much it will cost to make into a series. $$$

The narrative is from a 16 year old girl and is just as expected; dramatic and fluff. So if you are under the age of 16 you will most likely find this book titillating. If you are older, or male, just save your book space .



Trigger Warning: Suicide, Rape, and child abduction.
