4.25

The book is really good. The only thing preventing me from giving it 5 stars instead of 4.25 is the middle of the book. It just felt pretty slow there and i kinda had to force myself to continue reading at parts. Also it felt a little too kiddy in some parts. Thankfully the INCREDIBLE ending made up for it. I really like this but ugh the brothers lowk piss me off. But anyways i’ll finish the series soon. I’m invested now.

THIS WAS SOSOSOSO CUTE!!! I enjoyed this sooo much this is the fastest i’ve ever read a book and this is my first ever kindle read 😦 I love this and Ethan is literally perfect.

It really annoyed me that NOBODY believed my girl Olive when she said Dane was hitting on her and that he was w other women like BRO. DPMO

OVERALL GREAT BOOK!

oh my god i had been meaning to read this FOREVER! finally got it from a library and it was so worth it. i think it is SO sad and yes i cried in class as i read this. i know it's surprising! anyway. i think many relate to xiomara in one way or another. the author did amazing at making xio feel so real. love this book. free verse never disappoints me!
