Five things about Poison Princess by Kresley Cole ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š

1. The book stack rating for this one is based on pure enjoyment not literary merit. To be clear, this is a post-apocalyptic, YA Romance, fantasy and it is a lot. And I love it. 
2. This was a reread. I first read this in 2016. I believe the last book in the series is finally being released this year so Iโ€™m doing a reread. Let me just say that while I remembered what happenedโ€ฆI didnโ€™t remember how any of it happened at all. I thought I had but I was remembering almost everything incorrectly. Itโ€™s like my brain took the main points and built its own little story that ended up at the same place but took a completely different route. ๐Ÿ˜‚
3. Every time Jack calls Evie โ€œbebeโ€ I die a little inside. Itโ€™s got to get the award for most cringy term of endearment ever used in a YA novel. 
4. For all itโ€™s cringe-worthiness this book was impossible to put down. I had not intended to read it in a few hours this evening but I just kept saying Iโ€™ve more chapter until it was done. 
5. I am so excited to read the second book next month. I am so curious if I remember it any more correctly than I did this one.
