Everlasting by Alyson Noël
1.0
Okay, so I wouldn't even give it any stars, except there were two corny parts that I kind of liked.
Now, I know I may anger some people in saying this, but this was honestly one of the worst books I have ever read. Evermore was awesome. It was. It was something I had never read before, and it was extremely interesting. But from there.... every book has gotten progressively worse. 'Oh, we need to find the antidote' 'Oh we can't touch' 'Oh I love you and I want to do it with you but bummer I can't'
I felt like I was forced to sit inside someone's head, and that person was going slowly insane.
Like for instance:
The whole bit where she has to find the tree is in the like, middle of the book. So you know everything is going to work out, because otherwise the book would just be stupid. And then to have everyone be kind of bipolar and stubborn 'Oh, I have the chance to live, oh I don't want to give this up, oh what will I do, oh, my aunt understands everything now, boo hoo, hurray, oh no, oh yay, happy ending, or sad things' and it just drove me insane.
******** End spoilers *********
But really I only read this last book because I was already 5 books in and I may as well read it even though you can pretty much predict what's going to happen. I mean, maybe other people like this, but it just dragged on a little too long. It also repeated things, over and over. I actually lightly underlined it in the book with a pencil so the next person can see how often it's said. And there are definite spelling mistakes scattered throughout.
But if you're 5 books in, read it. Finish it and be done.
