One cannot be brave who has no fear

This book is a whole lot of emotions… from the alter egos to them hating each other’s alter ego while being in a relationship, to poor, poor Max.

Aurora Rising by Jay Kristoff, Amie Kaufman
Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.

I just couldn't get through it. It didn't captivate me and I felt it was a chore to read it. I might pick it up again later, who knows.

I liked this book. It was not my favorite book ever, but it was still pretty good. The first parts were pretty slow and took me longer than usual to get through, but I pushed through and it really improved. The ending is just wonderful and it really makes you surprised and kind of shocked. 
As for my content warnings: it’s sort of mild romance - no descriptions of anything but insinuations, and a brief mention of SA.
