was waiting for the plot the entire book. just for there to be nothing that happened. felt like I was constantly waiting for nothing. I like the writing style. just not the plot. also fox pissed me off and I didn't like it.

I love the relationship between Ivan and Jas. I feel like she's just so whiny. she desperately needs therapy and just doesn't care nor do it. i feel the story focused a lot on her whining more than her fixing it and stuff idk. i really don't like books like that.  ivan was sweet...he was the best part. also took forever for them to become a thing, and then at that point it was rushed. also the word choice for some things. ew. I physically cringed sometimes. the transitions between people talking also felt a little wattpady. idk. the writing just didn't seem thought out and as good as it could have been. but I liked Jas and Ivan together.. it was cute just maybe more YA then promoted.

not my favorite out of her others. but this one was good all the same. i just guessed the plot twist early this time, unlike her others. but i will always love her writing.
