Sobbed my eyes out. Got told by my boyfriend it was a cute romance. It was cute but he forgot to mention of sad it is. Literally like so many thoughts while reading it like they never got to tell eachother that they loved eachother. And she gets get of the hospital and was on her way to see him and died like WHAT??? his life was so dull and sad before her but she made him happy and he will never get to have a future with her

OMG i love this book. It’s so well writing and the plot is so good. The ending has been so shock. I really wished there was some more romance between Viola and Todd but hopefully there is more in the second book but omg the way todd was written is so good and it hooks u in.

Book was kinda ass compared to the series, it’s really boring and Conrad is such a red flag in this book omg. The ending was so meh like didn’t feel any build up to it and the chapters of when she was younger some were meh. I didn’t really feel a connection with her to conrad at all kinda felt one with her and Jeremiah. Dk why he gets hated a lot when he is so much nicer and bettter than conrad who is violent and litro an addict. It was an okay read and was easy to get thru but felt that the series looks better than the book and looks like they added and changed alot to make it more interesting

Had to read this book because of an exam for English. The main character is so annoying i could not stand her she was so unlikable and fucking annoying she was nippy. The only reason it gets 2 stars is because of the chapter between her and the son as i felt bad that he leaves her and the scene between them when he has his back to her was very upsetting. Other than that this book was so boring and made me miserable coming to english every day.

I hate her mum so much. She was only a child and she didn’t deserve any of the awful things she went through.

One of my top favourite books. The book went in a completely different direction than i thought (went into this book blind without seeing any spoilers) and it was amazing. The writing was excellent and the little snippets of the articles were very creative. The love story is amazing they are one of my fav book couples now. So sad the ending though
