OK...lets talk about it! I really wanted to dislike this book. I thought i was going to after the first 10 or so chapters. And if you read it you know what I mean. She pulls you in and then just kicks you in the shins. But what a surprise this book turned out to be. It was such an emotional rollercoaster. I put it down after a few chapters, because it felt like it was going to be a slog and then reupped it via audible which definately helped to chunk away at it. My main issue with this book is just Bryce....she really is not likeable....but everyone else is. It's the supporting characters for me that really drive this book. Then before you know if the plot sneaks up on you and youre soooo involved.  It ends in such a way that you could just leave it here if she wanted to, but I am going to HAVE TO read the next book.
