This book was overall uncomfortable and not in a good way. Too many situations the protagonist got into that made me feel gross to even read about. I would never recommend this to anyone unless you have an @bu$e k!nk. I’d never read this again.
I’d like to start off by saying I liked this book, I did. I love reading books about places I’ve been because I can visualise it better.
But the story took a long time to get into. I was determined to finish it because I didn’t want to give up. A lot of it was unnecessary conversations and description that wasn’t needed. The story dragged a bit, until I had about 20% left.
It definitely covered some important areas, and I could absolutely identify with Adam and his struggles, but overall the book didn’t move me. It just didn’t feel like the characters were real. Maybe it’s because they all had a reasonable amount of money or they’re older than me. I’m not sure.
It was a cute story, and I’m glad I read it. I just felt like so much was missing, you know? But it was nice as a break between some of the more depressing books I’ve read recently.

I loved this book. I didn’t think I would at first. The beginning was so dramatic, but the more I read it, the more I understood.
This book brought me through a whirlwind of emotions, as I struggle with my mental health too. But I could really identify with April and her struggles and what she went through. She was like me, but a bit older. It helped me to see myself from an outside perspective, if that makes sense.
April’s life is crazy. We can say that as an understatement. But it highlighted very real parts of life as a woman in this era. It is hard, we don’t know who to trust, and there’s a huge perception that we have to be married with kids before 35.
I really loved this book. The ending was a bit disappointing, as I wanted to know more about her and Joshua, but I understood why it ended the way it did.
This was such a good read! But I’m still eyeballing the way she described East London. Holly, we are not like that all all. Stop watching Eastenders! Hahahah.
5 stars. Brilliant.

I liked this book. And you can tell because I read it in 19 days. It was interesting and I’ve recently visited Dublin which made me more interested, being aware of the setting.
The four main characters all led completely different lives to me, none of which I’d necessarily think, ‘yep, that’s what I want to do as well,’ but they definitely interested me in a strange way. I found all four of them - Frances, Bobbi, Melissa and Nick - to be awful, selfish individuals. But I suppose we all are in a way.
I did find Frances in particular to be very naive and dramatic, which annoyed me at times. But I kept reading because I was drawn to see what she did next.
I liked the way Sally’s writing is very direct and to the point, without much waffle and overused, unneeded description. I find that tedious. She left a lot to my imagination, which I liked. And in a way I really enjoyed the way she wrote everything, if that makes sense. It made me feel a bit intelligent (is that sad? Probably.)
It definitely opened my eyes to how other people live and how different people see things. It also helped me to understand why some people behave the way they do, and how they think about certain things.
I did enjoy this book a lot. I was just a bit frustrated at the situation with Nick and Frances (I don’t want to leave a spoiler) particularly at the end. But I couldn’t stop reading! I’m so sleep deprived because I enjoyed this so much. Wow, I’ve probably said that a lot, haven’t I?

I enjoyed this book and it definitely covered a very important topic. I would say as the book progressed, though, it was more like Holly was trying to reach a word count rather than get to the point.
That being said, the protagonist is a teenager and that’s how teenagers think, isn’t it? Another very provoking and moving book.
PS I hope you’re forever miserable, Reese!

The perfect ending to my first series! The second book dragged a bit but I loved the Caraval series and I love a happy ending!
This book was good but I much preferred Caraval - I’ll still read Finale though.
I just feel like there was hardly any plot until 30-40% into the book and it was unnecessary description which I ended up skimming past.
The most interesting part was the last 15% of the book. I know it’s hard to write a sequel, but it just felt like it was an idea where not even the author knew where to go with it.
Maybe it’s because I can’t relate to Tella being the older sister like Scarlett. I don’t know. It was alright. Just not as quick and interesting to finish.

I have just cried my eyes out at this book. It was so beautiful. Such a good story. I loved it and don’t really have any more words to explain it. The characters need to be protected at all costs! Except Emma (ew).
I loved this book so, so much. I could really identify with Quinn and Graham in many aspects and their story really pulled at my heartstrings.
It’s very rare I cry reading a book, but I did. This is definitely one of my favourite books I’ve ever read. Wow, I love it so much. I’m tearing up even now. Amazing!

In all honesty, I couldn’t wait to finish this book. It seemed to drag a million years just to get to the point. I hated the long descriptions and the unnecessary waffle in everything between dialogue and explanations.
The story itself was alright. It was interesting. It had its boring parts, but that was more because of the waffle. I’m glad it’s finished.
To be honest I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. It was so long and a waste of a read in my opinion. I’m just too stubborn to not finish a book.
Unless you’re bored and looking to be more so, don’t read this.
