The Ruined by Renée Ahdieh

2.0

---

Oh boy do I have thoughts on this book, but I can't say much of anything I want to say because of spoilers so this is going to be pretty vague. I buddy read this entire series with Ali. I gave all of the books a 3-3.5-star rating. They weren't my favorite, but they were ok, and I was able to get through them. I had fun being able to read and discuss/rant about them with Ali but I'm sad to say this is probably one of my least favorite series overall and this final book was the worst book in this series. In book 3 some of the characters started acting out of character. It was like they had completely different personalities and it just got worse in this book. Like the decisions some of these characters were making had me so angry I wanted to throw my book. Then the ending. OMG don't get me started on the ending. That was not satisfying in the least. It hurt it pissed me off and it just made me hate the series even more. 

This book had 2 things going for it. The amount of anger and hatred it made me feel is one. I have to give it something for making me feel this amount of angry. I was so angry I was kind of teary eyed. The other thing was Arjun's chapters and just Arjun in general. He's the only one that never changed. He was always his amazing self from book 1 to this book. I have so many more thoughts when it comes to Arjun and that ending but I can't say them so I will just end it with... WHY????
