I truly dont know what ive just read.
At first i was intrigued because it was so mondane and like cozy but then it just became boring, the plot didn't make much sense to me and the only thing that kept me going was the flowe  drawings and their names and all that

I didn't expect this at all, i really thought it would be a silly book about cheating with a younger men and just that BUT ITS SO MUCH MORE
The dialogue that she creates in her head is amazing, the morally gray flawed characters even better
It would probably have been a higher rating if the ending was so anticlimatic tbh i wanted more drama or at list a more closed ending since they simply didnt acknowledge what happends after like page 195 idk for sure

THIS MIGHT HAVE SOME SPOILERS

I am so incredibly underwhelmed by this, i waited since march and this is what i got. The 4 stars is basically because of the last 200 pages cuz the first ones were unnecessary nothing happend if the book was only 200 pages i would like it much better. The obly good characters are the fates (LALA IS THE BEST FUCKING CHARACTER, JACKS ALSO HAS MY HEART) cuz they are the only ones with actual personality due to the fact thar Evangeline stops having one for majority of the book. Apollo's character just pissed me off cuz the villian arc they put him on was terribly made he didn't have any consistency.
Also jacks and eva's ending could have been done in a better way cuz it was just meh like there wasnt anything special about it
Im so disappointed tbh im gonna consider giving it lower stars but i can't for now cuz of the completion of the series

Wtf did i just reed????
Like it was boring but with drugs involved 
I didnt like any of the characters and even if the author was like im gonna make a character that nobody likes but thats the point she didnt accomplished that at all cuz she was just so plain, no dimension to the character whatsoever
Shes not like othet girls took literally in a worse way possible
If u want a morally grey character do not read this
