The beginning was a little slow, I kept rereading some parts because I easily lost focus of the story.

But then it gets really good. I became very attached to these characters and their stories and just wanted to see them safe. The book is enticing and entertaining and I can't wait to read the next one.

It's been so long since I read a young adult book, but I saw an ad for the movie, and I rewatched it. It wasn't enough, so I jumped into the first book. This was one of those books that came out towards the end of high school for me, so I never finished the series, and it would be fun to see where this reread went. I liked the book, and it was different from the movie, but I did like the pacing in the movie more. I really wish the rest of the books were made. Anyway, it was nice to come back to this series, and it didn't leave me feeling like it was just for young adults. It was a good time.

i almost want to give this book a five star just because i love it so much, but the ending makes me so upset, i have to rate it a 4.75. i watched the movie before i read the book so i basically already knew what happened, but i already like the book 10x  more than the movie. alexandra bracken is such a good writer, and i love the way she wrote and described things. all the characters mean so much to me (especially you liam, i love you more than any character ever). my copy was the one with the exclusive liam story, which was so cool to read, i loved hearing about his backstory in the league. i absolutely cannot wait to start the second book !
