Lifel1k3 by Jay Kristoff
5.0
Okay. Kristoff did it again. What the hell, I should be used to this by now and yet I'm still mind-boggled. I've never read a book like this one, and it was bloody incredible. Such a fantastically written book, with beautiful beautiful beautiful characters. I think may favourite thing about Eve in the book, is the insight into her character development! Her conflicts, and worries and thoughts, I fell in love with her. And out of love, I mean that ending!! WILD, CRAZY, SO UNEXPECTED. I freaked out at that plot twist. I'll be counting down the days until Lifelike 2 is released, my hopes are so high now. I fell in love with Lemon Fresh and Ezekiallll, Cricket and Kaiser. But words cannot describe how mad I am that Eve (or whoever the hell she is) is siding up with Gabriel??? Like can you not thanks. I think this review sufficiently summarises how completely mind boggled and screwed up this book had me. Kristoff currently has the power to crush my heart and soul in his fist. Overall, such an incredible book - I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed it!!
Reread #2
I mean I’m gobsmacked. I can’t believe I forgot so much about this book, but I’m so glad I reread it before tackling deviate. Sobbing is one word to describe me right now, I’m qUAKING. Literally no words. My love for jay kristoff has been fully cemented before this book and it continues to burn FIERCELY after this book. I must keep reading and absorbing jay kristoff’s literary power.
Reread #3
Maybe it’s just the rereading but I feel like my dislike for Eve/Ana has just multiplied astronomically this time around. I’ll never understand how quickly she turned sides at the end. I’ve got whiplash! I feel as though her “villain origin story” was so irrational - I understand the betrayal she feels at Zeke lying to her (dick move in all fairness), and lemon not telling her the truth either (this I excused, I mean imagine how terrifying it is for lem?), but seriously??? It doesn’t have to be a binary two sides Eve, it’s a BIG change to go from normal human to psycho murder bot. But anyway, I guess I’m just very passionate from this book. As further testament to Kristoff’s greatness, I once again enjoyed this book immensely.
