I felt like I was in a psych ward reading this book. It was so so slow to me and I struggled to get through this book. I will not be continuing the series 

ʚ♡⃛ɞ ʚ♡⃛ɞ ʚ♡⃛ɞ ʚ♡⃛ɞ ʚ♡⃛ɞ 6 stars ʚ♡⃛ɞ ʚ♡⃛ɞ ʚ♡⃛ɞ ʚ♡⃛ɞ ʚ♡⃛ɞ

Why the fuck would you write this book, Nicole? And why the fuck did you make me read this kendyl ʚ♡⃛ɞ? I am bawling my eyes out right now. My heart is torn and my mind is fuzzy and I don't know what to do with myself. But I'm going to go ahead typing this review as tears fall over my keyboard anyways.

Short Summary

Mia Rose Jett is a nineteen year old girl who has emotional detachment disorder. To avoid being sent to a mental institution because of her behavior, her father ships her off to a university in the UK which housed deranged and dangerous young adults who viewed the private institution as their own personal playground. Mia doesn't know why she is this way but Dolor University is a roller coaster ride for her which will ignite the memory in her brain.

Oliver (Ollie) Masters is a unique person in Mia's life, changing the way she is and sees the world. He's a beautiful man with bright green eyes and black inky tattoos. He just so happens to be a poet as beautiful as he looks. With him being Mia's safe haven at Dolor, things escalate.

My Opinion

I fucking adored this book. The author's writing is so beautiful and soothing that I just want to be captivated by her words all day. The way she strung letters to make words, and words to string together sentences is out of this world. As a beginning writer (an unpublished one, of course, because I lack confidence lol), I am inspired to write like Nicole.

The characters were so fun and interesting which made me want to know more. Although the author doesn't say as much about everyone besides Ollie and Mia, I still felt like I could connect with everyone. And boy did I connect (if you couldn't tell by the rating).

I smiled, laughed, giggled, squealed, screamed, cried, etc, all throughout this book. It was so amazing to feel all those emotions at once because that's the type of feeling I love when I read a book, not being aware of the words on the page, just the world the author has created which I can visualize in my brain.

The Ending

I need to know what happens after, oh, my Gosh. The cliffhanger. I am so mad right now that this is not on Kindle Unlimited (I have to return my Kindle anyways because of a bug in the system), or in any of my local libraries. Like why must you make me suffer? I swear to God, humanity has died down-

Well, thank you for reading my review and I highly suggest you read this book whenever you can as soon as possible because I want to know your guys' opinions and to scream about how good this book is if you like it (of course you would like it though, why wouldn't you? If you don't, I'm sorry but I don't need you to add to the decreasing of humanity in our world, so I'll just take this knife- oops-). I hope you all have a great day, my lovely readers!

4.5 ✨ this book surprised me in a lot of ways and ollie is just *chef’s kiss*

3.5 i liked most of this book. even loved some parts. ollie and mia are characters you (at least i) want to root for. their situation (feelings, mental health, past…) is pretty complicated but they bring the best in the other. i want them to have their happy ending

that being said :

- the book was repetitive and the story dragged on endlessly
- what’s this obsession with non consent / rape ? from mia being raped by her uncle when she was a child, to ollie being molested/raped at parties when he was unconscious to oscar to bria to even that officer’s sister ?? the group kept playing these weird games and characters said no yet ended up having to do stuff they weren’t willing to do ??
- what’s with this ending ?? this book is long enough for no good reason there’s no need for another one, and no need to undo everything that was built to have ollie now rejecting mia

i want to know what will happen but i don’t really feel like reading another book that will no doubt be built in the same way…

This book is good. Like really good. This has been in my bookshelf for so long. It's definitely different, hits a sweet spot for anyone to feel for Mia and Ollie. Even their friends which I will only be counting as Jake and Alice.

It breaks your heart as Mia navigates of having to feel things and then it heals you as Ollie tries to bring her back each time. Their love was just... *chef's kiss*
