Read it. Now. Just do it. 

- My friend kept telling me how good it was but I didn’t really like the back of the book so I didn’t want to. Thank God I decided to read it because I can honestly say that was the best book and best romance I’ve ever read in my entire life. The love was so pure and beautiful and I’ve never read anything like it. I would give anything to reread it and have my memory wiped. I’ve also never sobbed so much in my life wow.

-the plot of of story would have been so good if it weren’t for the author. I was so excited to read it but the story lacked so many things. First off, the main girl said that the main guy disgusts her and then 5 seconds later(literally) she’s talking about how she wants him (literally chapter 2). This book is also very boring AND the guy calls her “kitten"…..I’m not even gonna say anything about that. This book feels like it was taken directly out of Wattpad from a 12 year old author. The main guy also kisses her foreheads in chapter 5 when they have only known each other for like a day.

-I did like this book and thought that Dante and Vivianne were cute in the end. I also likes the enemies to lovers aspect. However, I personally don’t really like reading about older couples unless I REALLY like the characters or story. It really depends on the book but this also felt like a Wattpad book because of the style.

- this book was definitely really entertaining and I read it in a day. While I didn’t hate the book, the main guy was just too much sometimes. There was literally no plot and while I did think dean and Allie were cute while reading, looking back makes me realize they were not so much. The whole book was pretty much just straight smut so yeah!

-this book was really cute but the only reason I’m giving it a 4.25 is because of how fast paced it was. If you are in a reading slump I recommend getting this book because of how easy it is to read.

This was the city’s big girl book I ever read. I thought it was good but I wouldn’t run to Barnes and noble if it got stolen.

I loved this book a lot, and while it’s not the most thought provoking, it’s still a cute college romance. This book is controversial you either love it or you hate it, and I happen to live it. It’s super easy to read and really cute and sexy

This book left me sobbing(no the main characters don’t die). I have never read a book that made me question my outlook on life and this absolutely did just that. The story and characters are so lovable and you will get SO attached. This story is beautiful and so suspenseful. The love between the two is so pure.

Is you are a tension girlie you NEED to read this NOW. I reread this almost all the time it’s so good. A little hard to get into at first but once the drama starts kicking in you’re immediately hooked. The tension will give you butterflies and the sx scenes will leave you floored. Lowk had orgasm reading this book lol and absolutely loved the storyline.

Absolutely loved this book and love the dystopian vibe to it. I know the character development in the next books are about to be fire.
