Medium pace for me. Sometimes slow moving, but enjoyable. Predictable but still a good read. Reads like a fanfiction.

It’s very clear this book is written by the author of Twilight. There’s even a weird sports interlude.

There’s also a pretty big age gap for no reason. You could remove the sentence that mentions their ages and it would have no impact on the book whatsoever. Weird choices, Stephanie.

Also, turns out I’m not into reading about people dying of thirst in a desert. 

The plot is meandering and the pacing is chaotic. But I think if you enjoyed reading Twilight you would enjoy this book.

I loved this book! I never read anything like it before. It includes very sweet romance and friendship while also taking a creative twist by making the characters in the same body. Only problem for me probably because I am picky not because this book has a problem was that the representation of any minority group was non-existant and if there was any it was so small I didn't even notice.
