WHERE DO I BEGIN...
I'm just gonna come out and say it. I have no idea how to feel about this book.
The romantic moments (which I was pretty much in for) were great... with the exception of the... not dialogue.
I feel like the dialogue was written well, but the descriptions that came after were written by a 13-year-old girl. Like the keyboard was getting switched back and fourth between an author and me in middle school. It's just on the cringy side a lil bit I'm not gonna lie.
Example:
"'I want every second. Every inch of you. I want all of it."
And I drop dead, all over the floor.
"Juliette."
I can't understand why I can still hear him speaking because I'm dead, I've already died, I've died over and over again."
I just can't. Like... this isn't poetry Juliette.
That being said... there were some parts where I could have fainted. Like I could have broken my jaw from smiling so much. Involving the last hundred pages mainly because that's where it gets good (and if anyone disagrees they're crazy) so yeah, I'm torn.
