2.0

No disrespect, but I don't understand the hype of this book. Jude is so unlikeable, she is also an idiot. While reading it felt she only ran on impulsive thoughts and emotions. Just vibes~~ and nothing else.
Carden...eh.

I whispered, "What the hell..?" to my kindle the entire time. I didn't know what the hell she was doing, she didn't even know. No one in this book is likable or even worth caring about. I need someone to fully explain to me, why ya'll like it so much. I feel like there's something I'm just not seeing.

But, I mean hey..sometimes you’re just not gonna like a book. I won't read the next two because I just don't care to. The 2 stars are simply because I wanted to see what would happen next, it was a little entertaining.
