Honestly, this book isn’t what I expected. At all. I enjoyed reading this, somewhat. It was engaging throughout the entire book. I will have to warn you, this book is definitely a lot “spicier” than I had expected. It goes into some detail, (a lot more than I was expecting), just a warning. I wouldn’t read it if you’re not old enough. The characters though. I don’t even know where to start with them. I loved reading this and watching them grow and mature as individuals. I hate Aaron with a passion. There were points in the book where he made me internally scream. The book was a little longer than it really needed to be, but it was still engaging. If you aren’t one who is up to reading smut, I really don’t recommend it. Overall, the book was okay. It wasn’t really my thing but that’s also partially my fault because I should have done a little more research on it before buying it.

This book didn’t stand out to me. It was really slow, and nothing really happened until the very end. I would not read this again.

Such an emotional book about Wiesels experience as a jew in the Holocaust. Definitely a rollercoaster of emotions. I would read this again.

This book is definitely one of my top two favorite books, if not my favorite book. With the unexpected plot twists and the diversity of the characters, I was engaged throughout the whole story. I’m not much into dystopian, but i’m so glad that I gave this book a chance. I wish I could go back in time and read this for the first time again. I highly recommend it.

This book is violent, but it doesn’t go into much detail. Don’t miss out on this book.

I felt as though the plot was predictable. Towards the end, it was getting confusing as well.
