I was in the mood for something simple, of which I already knew most of the plot (‘cause of the movie). And this book was exactly that! It was entertaining, cheesy and romantic, and thrilling at times. Would I call it a GOOD book? No. Will I read the rest of the series? Probably not. But did I enjoy reading it? Absolutely.
fast-paced
Maybe it’s because I read this very inconsistently (days without reading at all and days with reading 200 pages) but this felt more like loose threads than an actual story to me.
Great book, lots of longing in it which I love. But the end, the last 100 or so pages, fell flat for me. Not completely sure why.
Read this about two years ago- feels like the story curse was over this story aswel cause I forgot almost everyyything but I remember it being one of the GREATEST books I’ve ever read- felt depressed after finishing it simply cause it was over.

Horrible writing and so confusing. Like a wattpad story. (I loved OUABH but this was just plain bad.)
That’s it? Seriously?
This story has such interesting characters, good storylines, and great potential as an overall idea. It was going in an alright direction. Yet it still fell so flat.
Now I understand why my friend said the movie was better than the book. Because I can see why this would be great as a movie, but God, it just simply wasn’t good (at all) as a book. It had way too many time jumps; instead of telling a full, ongoing story, each two chapters were about one specific significant scene. Like someone just thought “hey, this would be a cute scenario” but was too lazy to work out a whole story around it. And that ending?? If she had written a proper ending, if she had at least fleshed out that part, then sure, I could see past the emptiness of the previous 200 pages simply out of thrill for the actual romance confession. But leaving an already incomplete book unfinished just feels cheap. And if it was a stylistic choice, then it’s still just not my cup of tea, I guess.
Lots of potential, but not fleshed out enough.
