There was no reason for this to be 600 pages long. Absolutely no reason. This could have been 300 pages shorter and there would be no difference to the story. In fact, it would have been so much better if it were half its length. 

The third act conflict genuinely pissed me off. It's been a while since a book pissed me off like this. It was 3 stars until the author pulled that shit in the third act and then painfully DRAGGEDDDDD it til the very end. The rating nosedived and crashed into the ground then. 

I had nearly dnfed it 40% in but I pushed through to give it a proper chance. I regret it. Severely. I could have used all this time to read another more deserving book. I'm genuinely so mad that I wasted a precious whole day on this book.

The characters were so immature to the point where it was unrealistic and they seemed like caricatures of human beings. The plot was literally a sitcom but it wasn't funny. It was a teenage trashy TV show plot, if that's what you're into. The love triangle was one of the most annoying ones I've read in YEARS. And while I had predicted the 3rd act conflict, I'm more annoyed it actually happened and it was milked for all the drama it wasn't worth for. 

I probably wouldn't be as mad if this were shorter but I sat through 600 pages of this, I'm fuming. To everyone who recommended me this book, I hope your next read is a 1 star. I'm a petty bitch.
