I am giving this book two stars because I absolutely loved the first 30% and stayed up till 3am reading it. Unfortunately, that's as good as it got. After that stellar beginning, the story was retold several times almost exactly the same way. The same thing kept happening and I kept wondering what the point of it was. There are characters that I found to be completely unnecessary to the story. If they were taken out of the book, it wouldn't make a difference. Most importantly, what happened? WHY did it happen? What is the meaning of it all? I didn't get any of these answers and if it is supposed to be open ended, it left me hanging.
The main character had so much potential. Emotionally, physically, and mentally there was so much there to work with, but there was little to no development. I think that if the book had taken a different angle it would have made much more sense, but the direction it went in left me completely unsatisfied.
The female main character was unlikeable to me. She was weak and such a pushover- so easily manipulated. She loves a character but NEVER through the entire book did she stand up for him or say anything to the jerks. that was just so dumb to me. Idk I am so sad I didn't love it but as usual, the writing is great. There was a ton of quotes I highlighted but this just wasn't for me.
