3.76 AVERAGE


This book took me way too long to get into and honestly, I only really got into it during the 21st chapter, from there on I absolutely adored the book. I love how everything came full circle at the end and the ending really is a cliffhanger that keeps you wanting more. I definitely need to get my hands on Pandemonium as soon as I can. Superb writing and excellent plot.

3.75/5 ⭐

I knew the basic premise of the book from the recommendations I received, but was still thrilled while reading it. I expected a betrayal by Hana but she surprised me. The ending surprised me as well. I know there are books following this one so it makes me wonder how the story will continue...

I'm so distraught right now, I need to read book 2 asap

I guess the real underlying issue I have with this book is; Why?

Why cure love? What kind of weird thought process ends up with love being the basis for illness? Is there even a government in this world? If so, how do they control a million little blocked off towns? How does this world work when none of the cities can connect or communications with one another?

Clearly, curing love does nothing in the way of controlling people considering there are always sympathizers and people who rebel against it and that even kids realize how weird it all is even though all of their family members have been cured...

I am so confused...
