The book itself was decent but it was very 2010s so the characters were kinda plain in the way that authors do that to try to make it relatable and it felt like a lot of likes were thrown in there just to sound poetic (and not just the constant use of poetry, which, we get it, is super valuable).
The whole love triangle thing was also super boring cause you know from the very beginning who she was gonna end up with and either way it would’ve been disappointing. 
The plot twist wasn’t even really a plot twist, I only just realized which part was intended to be the twist. 
Other than that, it was an ok book, I still found it to be an immersing read.
