I have never connected with a character more! Hawthorne had all of the same thoughts and feelings I had and then she wrote them down. The book held the words I’ve thought for so long but had never found the way to express. I was near tears at the end but then hearing about Vernon dying and his funeral, comparing it to Lizzie's sent me over. The messages and the way they were told had me unable to put the book down, even reading it in class (something I don't do) and at lunch instead of interacting with my friends. When I have enjoyed books before I have never wanted to say that it could be one of my favourite books until now! 17th May 2017
I’ve just reread it and in some ways wish I hadn’t. I originally rated it 5 stars but now will change it to 3. Although in the beginning, I still very much relate to what it is Hawthorn is saying, after the first 50 pages or so, she really started to annoy me and everything I remembered as being so rich and full before now seemed less. This time round, I cared a lot more about her relationship with her brother and a lot less about the whole werewolf side and the mystery. It was good but not overly brilliant. 28th October 2018

I enjoyed the ending and how atypical it was. I was not expecting what would happen and I was hooked to the fantasy ideas in it but was pleasantly surprised by a realistic ending.
This was not my favorite book. Honestly, I found it a bit dry and outrageous. I know it was centered on individuality and so on, but it was little much for me. The character development was ok. For some reason this one didn't click with me.
i can definitely tell why people don’t like this book. The main character can be annoying and immature, and there are aspects of the book itself I wasn’t really okay with, however, I actually enjoyed reading this.
I almost gave up on this, especially with all the random talk of werewolves. But in the end I was rather moved and I glad I didn’t. This may even be pushing a 3.5... Maybe. Probably.
so much about this book bothered me and i don't feel like rambling about it right now so i'll come back to it later okay bye
This book was really fun and honest and I really liked the writing style. I could relate to the characters at times and I liked the whole werewolf turn of events, since it was way more fun than what I expected. Definitely a fun and interesting read.

A novel focused so deeply on an immature protagonist’s theories about werewolves should not be allowed such cute cover art. Hawthorn is jealous, obsessive, and rude. I found it difficult to pick out her redeeming qualities and did not sympathize much with her plight as a self proclaimed outcast. Sometimes, you don’t have that many friends because you aren’t very nice to people.
