Did not see that twist coming at all. That was the most beautifully tragically written love story I’ve ever read. I need to go process, I need to read all the other books.

i can't give it lower than 4.25. i just can't. 

just whenever you think you gonna guess what's gonna happen next, jessa hasting gives you an upper cut and leaves your jaw on the floor. 

don't get me wrong, these characters can be annoying and exasperating (srl) but there's always something grabbing me again. my relationship with bj is so complicated, like i "love" you as a character but if i knew you in real life, i'd punch you.

this book made me happy, sad, genuinely shocked and laugh out loud.

all in all, fuck all of these characters, except tom and, the love of my life, henry.

I really wanted to be obsessed with this, but it didn't hit the spot like I wanted it to. I love me a toxic romance, but there were too many things that didn't add up/were just TOO unrealistic and ridiculous that I couldn't get obsessed with it. I like it enough to continue the series though and I've heard it only gets better.
