The Damned by Renée Ahdieh
4.0

4.5 stars

I'm supposed to be in my math class, not half listening while I devour the last chapters of this book being on the verge of tears.
Spoiler If Odette dies I'm throwing a hissy fit


I really hoped I read this book when I wasn't swarmed with academic priorities that caused a big lack of motivation that caused me to do futile activities instead of reading (I'm looking at you TikTok).
But I genuinely really enjoyed reading this it was so much fun (up until the end I'm going to cry)

While this does have a love triangle I'm a bit annoyed at since it's so obvious who Celine is ending up with, I was able to tolerate it and look it over, especially since it was scarce throughout the book. Which leads me into the next thing I want to talk about;

TOO. LITTLE. OF. CELINE.

I get why this book was focused on Bastien I really do and I really love him, but I wish we got to see more of Celine because I love her so much.
Also, we need justice for Pippa. My girl keeps getting put on the backburner, and is really forgotten. Plus, we barely see any of her. #Pippadeservesbetter.
