there’s a part of me that kinda wishes i’d stopped at the end of the trilogy so i could live in ignorant bliss. this book somehow managed to upturn every single good thing about those books (but not in a bad way). i know everything has to go wrong before it can be right again, but i just want everyone to be okay and happy!!

i love love love being able to know what Noah’s thinking because we haven’t really up until this book. and i know he was really going through it and had his own problems throughout the trilogy, but this book really highlighted just how bad everything’s gotten for him. at times it felt so incredibly heavy. (and i didn’t expect to feel so called out like i did whilst reading)

if there’s anything that Michelle Hodkin is fantastic at, it’s leaving a book on a massive cliffhanger. i really wasn’t expecting this one and i’m excited to see where it goes in the next one.
