1.0

A really bad book. Very unlikeable characters, ruined what could’ve been a good plot line, and truly didn’t make me feel any emotion while reading. The main character Eden is infatuated with an old college crush and makes some terrible decisions. The author tried to have too many things going on, and frequently jumped from past to present in back to back sentences without any transition. There were some plot holes and unrealistic scenes, like

how was Olivia able to leave the house in the middle of the night without Justin’s permission/knowledge?

Glad it was a one day read because otherwise would’ve been a waste of time.
