The Ruined by Renée Ahdieh
2.0

I am so disappointed by this ending. Like...what even happened? Three amazing books leading up to this and it kind of feels like the author didn't care how it ended. I can even see her building up to this depressing ending, but it was not well done because there was sooo much rambling in this book and the ending was so rushed that I had to relisten a few times. Basically we get to know all these characters in the series just so they can be collateral damage in Celine and Bastien's toxic love story. I used to love Celine as the strong interesting character and in this book she was completely different and doesn't use her brain and just acts better than everyone. And the jumping around between POVs was just too chaotic.
