I had high hopes after this book was hyped up on Instagram. I should have known I’d be disappointed. 

This book deals with a lot of trauma and tropes that I hate. I don’t want to spoil anything but the tropes are done as tropes like that usually are. I hated every character in this book. They were annoying, lacked critical thinking, and felt flat. Though it did keep me turning pages, I also worked out every plot twist by the time it was revealed. This may be because of my background in literature since many of the foreshadowing methods were classics. I’m not sure the hype around this trauma dump that lacked true character change. 

Maybe I’m harsh, but not every book is for everyone. 

Ugh TRAGIC. I’m crying. The drama the tragedy I loved it, ate it right up

It was a well written book but for some reason I just really didn’t get into it. It took me months to get into it and I kept putting it down for other things.
