I absolutely ate this book up! Misery was such a fun character that I loved from the very beginning. The characters, plot, humor, chemistry and pretty much everything I thought was just a great time.

This story had a lot going for it that I enjoyed. However, I definitely had my issues with it too. It was repetitive, and some of the reveals were so obvious. I did like the characters tho, and that ending has me excited for the next book.

I just have to start by saying I've been moving away from YA for a while. So when I first picked this up, I didn't realize it was YA. I figured it out pretty quickly, but I wanted to give it a shot because I liked the premise. Surprisingly, I ended up really enjoying this book. Where a lot of YA tends to just irritate me or I just can't relate anymore and lose interest. This one did the opposite and made me remember those tense, angst emotions I remember feeling as a teenager. How every little thing/emotion felt so big. I laughed out loud multiple times. The resolutions to things felt normal, and when the conversations that needed to happen did, it left me feeling like dang that was a true talk.

I mean, it was fine. Definitely felt like it was repetitive. The reveal wasn't very shocking to me personally. I do like the authors writing, I just didn't love the story.

So incredibly good! I loved this world and characters. This book was just so atmospheric, and the writing was absolutely beautiful, with lines that gave me chills. I'll be thinking about this one for a long time.
