I won't lie I read this in like 4ish hours, I was somehow hooked and could not put it down. I would pay attention to the content warnings though.
The book majorly sped up on the last 50%, the first 50% was still good though!

This book does have its issues which I'll try to sum up:

• Alex is kinda stalkerish and gives off creepy vibes. Even more so in the last 50%
• The singing scene was... uncomfortable to read.
• This book is leaning quite heavily on the fact you would read the next one, this can't be read as a stand-alone.
• At times to me it felt like I was reading a Twilight fanfiction.

I fell for the hype and it didn’t live up to my expectations. 
The writing at times felt unpolished or juvenile. 
I thought the story could have done with more ‘fluffing’ - there were gaps in the timeline which could have benefitted from better connecting and it all just moved too fast (despite it being an average length and timeline of book).
