3.5
I really liked this book but I had to give it 3.5 ⭐. It was good in the beginning but then I had to force myself to finish it as I felt like there wasn’t much of anything throughout. I would’ve given this book 2 ⭐ if it wasn’t for the ending which really caught me off guard. The ending was what actually made this book worth it for me. I haven’t seen the film but I definitely will since I heard that they completely changed the ending.
⚠️SPOILERS!!!⚠️
1. I felt like the subplot of romance between Julia and Campbell wasn’t really necessary for the plot but I kind of enjoyed it.
2. I feel like the author should’ve given us more on Jesse and the whole arsonist thing.
3. Anna’s death did indeed make me cry.
4. I loved the fact that Anna’s relationship with her parents was still somewhat normal despite the lawsuit.
5. I didn’t think Kate was going to live after everything but I’m glad the author made the decision to keep her alive.
