This book is really interesting and I was so invested and really wanted to get to know more about Emmet but oh my fucking god why the fuck are him and Tallie boinking??? In what way does that seem appropriate??? It just totally ruins everything. The book would’ve been so much more enjoyable if they were just friends. You don’t need to fuck just because you’re two hot straight people!

This book was fine, not great, not bad either. A little long and uneventful and slightly predictable. Worth a read if you’re looking for something deep

This started out really interesting, then became flat, then some plot twists, and a really bad solution. 

The ending was absolutely not satisfying - not for the most obvious reason (I can definitely respect and appreciate that), but because it really didn't fit the rest of the plot. The story simply gets interrupted and yanked back into "real life", I guess.

I wanted to like this book so much and now I'm just sad and disappointed, like I've fallen for a ruse.
