I enjoyed this book so much. The ending was cute but sad. I literally fell in love with Sam the second I found out she was the girl on the bike.  Y dream girl but I also want to be the girl on the bike cause why not. 

Im coming back a bit after i gave this review ^^. But i changed this rating to 5 cause i think about the love in this book everyday, i yearn for this love. This book is my expectations and just the perfect book for wlw.

The first 200 pages of tge book are SOOOO slow. I was questioning what tge hell was any of it leading to. No suspense and no thrill, i will say there was so weird gross shit but tgats it. There is rape so trigger ⚠️ but idk the book was okay.

The beginning of the book was so spooky and freaky. I was actually scared but towards the end it kinda threw me off, i wish the author cut it off or made a better ending. I was satisfied.

I just finished this book for my APLIT class for fun after the AP exam. I wanted to read this anyways cause i am always intrigued my things with witches in them, but shakespeare is a staple anyways. The end of the play my jaw was DROPPED. Omg the change in Macbeths character was insane. Definitely going to read again. Loved loved loved. Basically and english telenovela

The characters in this book are incredibly boring. I cannot get over the fact that the mc name was belly. I think i would kill myself if my mom named me that. Not the summer i turned pretty, more like the summer i turned whinny. Belly was the most annoying person in the book. Every sentemce i cringed. What was the plot? There is none. Her life is so boring, i almost put the book down multiple times. There was no suspense, nothing to look forward to. Were there even words on the page at that point? No dont read it
