<Spoilers>
I enjoyed this book alright. It was insanely predictable as I called how the story was going to unravel before I started reading it from only part of the synopsis.
It also had a couple of detailed sexual parts, don’t prefer reading that stuff and did my best to skip over those parts.
I did think Tate & Kya were cute. I really liked them. The ending seemed a bit duller than I what I was expecting it to be, but it wasn’t necessarily bad.
I don’t really understand why this book is so hyped though? There was nothing that was insanely special that stood out to me, the writing style didn’t particular seem outstanding or unique. I suppose it delved into some deeper topics for sure within the book. But it wasn’t expanded on much, and I’ve read many other books that have done better with some of the subject matters.
All in all, it’s was fine. There were certain things I did really enjoy and for that I gave it an extra half star. But it really wasn’t anything that special for me.
