“I need to kiss you,” he said.
“Then do it,” I replied.
“You don’t understand. I need to kiss you all over…touch you, feel your skin… I want you to be mine, Noah…in every sense of the word. I’ve never felt that for anyone…and it scares me… It scares me because I feel like I’m going crazy.”
I was so confident in this book before I started it, that I bought two physical copies in two different languages. Luckily, I didn't grow to regret my decision.
Now, I won't sit and pretend this is some lyrical masterpiece, you can tell it originated on Wattpad, and there's definitely something lost in translation, but I had fun, which is all that matters.
Nick and Noah aren't that bad as characters, and they're not as toxic as I expected them to be. I do wonder if that will change in the next books though, since there's plenty that could still go wrong.
My Fault was easy to get into, and to get lost in. I was buddy reading with a friend, and each of us accidentally read more than we agreed upon, two different times.
But I wouldn't say it's an extremely addictive book, not like After, I didn't get even half as much emotion pulled out of me as I did when I read that series.
The only thing I can really complain about is the character development and lack of descriptions. The insta-love I was expecting, but Nick changing his whole personality instantly because he realised he loved Noah, I was not. It happened too fast for it to be believable. And the descriptions...not a big deal, just something I kept noticing throughout.
I also haven't seen the movies (I will after I finish the series), so this is all just based on the book. I would recommend it if you want an easy, over-the-top read, especially if you have someone to discuss the ridiculousness with.
