The Next Together by Lauren James

5.0

I SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO WRITE REVIEWS LITERALLY THE SAME MINUTE I FINISH A BOOK, BUT OMG. I just yelled spoilery nonsense at my roommate because he was unfortunate enough to be sitting next to me as I finished it and OH I DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING AT ALL AND THAT RARELY HAPPENS AND OMG THOUGHTS AND QUESTIONS AND I DEMAND #2 NOW OKAY THANK YOU LAUREN JAMES!

*FLAILS*

I guess this book is sci-fi, but it's not until the end that you *really* know it's sci-fi over fantasy, so I'll put it on both shelves.

I started this book a few days ago, but didn't get more than a few pages in until today, and the things that wouldn't let me put it down today were the > messages, and I HAD TO FIGURE THEM OUT.. and they did not disappoint. It left more questions than it answered, but in the most delicious way.

Well, sorta, if book #2 wasn't a full year away. ;______;

Why do I keep reading new books and incomplete series? WHYYY? I'M A MASOCHIST. D:

(Other thoughts: I didn't find K as witty as she thought herself at all, but I also loved the snippets of their FB & other online messages, and the (MYSTERIOUS OMG WAT) wiki at the end, and also now i have to go read up on a bunch of history because I'm not sure which is real and which is alternative universe stuff anymore!)
