I realised why I find it so difficult to
Read these books it feels that that the development of the character is all that is important in these books. With the key plot points just haphazardly thrown in and in my opinion feel rushed. For example the last scene wherein Juliet is taken, thag scene was mainly done in warrens POV and just happened very fast. By the time I realised what was happening it was Juliet’s POV and the final chapter or so. 

Moreover it feels like everything is just rehashed over and over again in terms of character development. Juliet is naive. Juliet feels strong and detached herself, she then realalisws you need to be a team to survive this, then someone breaks her heart and the cycle starts again. Same with warren he loves her, wants to protect her but can’t communicate. I don’t think this are bad hoods I just think I don’t gel with this style wirh writing
