this was so amazing. tahereh’s writing is poetic but not hard to read. i want to highlight half of the words. will definitely be going back one day to annotate this. i knew i was in for a rollercoaster when i was crying less than 100 pages in. emotional wreckage.

3.0

First book of the year?!?!

The book wasn't too bad honestly it had a great story, the writing was amazing etc but I found it INCREFIBALLY hard to read ahaha

I think it was really just because Juliette had her prioritys wrong and she was so like complainy and pitying her self too much! 

I mean they were going off to war and she ADMITTED that all she could think about was her bad love life like girl-

BUT OVERALL IT WASNT BAD AND IM EXCITED FOR THE NEXT!

Jesus H Christ. I genuinely don't understand how this and the first book were written by the same person. Like the first book was fine but THIS. Lordy. I adored this book. Warner is my favorite as resident lover and pyscho but, Kenji is a verryyy close second as probably one of the only people who doesn't handle Juliette with kid gloves. I am so excited for the next books for real.
