⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

While I feel like I've done a terrible job at trying to break this book down into one paragraph I can ensure you this book is phenomenal! It is so uplifting! It was super fast paced and if I could have read it in one night I would have (stupid exams!). I connected instantly to Evie and have a new application of love after reading this book. Her connection with X was so cute and I felt like they were made for each other. I cannot rave about this book so much, it flowed so well and had me hooked from the beginning. I love Nicola Yoon, I love her writing and the way she can hold my captivation from start to end. If you're looking for a pick me up book, something to get you out of a reading slump or just something new, consider picking this one up! I was offered an E-book copy of this but I'll definitely be picking up a physical copy in the future! 

Thanks to @turningpagesnz and @penguinbooksnz for sending me a copy if this one in exchange for an honest review 💗
