this book was so flat. it took me a few chapters to understand what was going on. holly and elle are very similar characters and they were written similarly so it was hard to distinguish what was going on. also everyone is 15/16 years old, which seems a bit young? and this book was very much written for young teenagers (think 12-14) ish. it was an okay christmas read but i wouldn't recommend unless you were in middle school.

Good but a little sus. I didn’t think the whole kiss thing it felt very middle school. I do like jacks and evagenlines storyline but everyone else fell a little flat

I love Will Baxter to death. I like the alternating timelines and the plot developed well, but I feel like it fell just a little bit too flat. I also didn't like the stuff with Dirty Dancing and how much it was explained, but its fine. I didn't really like Whitney's character, but she was a very side/minor character.

Would’ve given this 5 stars if she used quotations. The writing and story were so so beautiful and I could reread this over and over again. Marianne and connell’s story was stunning

It took me 3 days to read this book, just because it was so confusing. I am not really into supernatural type mystery books, and this was exactly that. I was following the story pretty well until it introduced the birds and the third wing and whatnot.
