I had a good time reading this book, but why was it so long though? Either way, Ellie’s involvement with Nico was heartwarming. All characters had some good growth as well.

Ik vond het een prima verhaal om naar te luisteren, maar ik geloof dat ik de boeken van Carley Fortune nooit echt geweldig zal gaan vinden. In dit specifieke geval hielp het ook niet mee dat er zoveel geheimen waren, daar hou ik nooit zo van.

Initially I wasn’t sure what to expect, especially after having read the trigger/content warnings. But this was actually so much fun! I’ve had a really good time reading this book and I hope the next book will be just as much fun.

Het was een prima verhaal om naar te luisteren, maar ik vond de problemen die Taylor en Connor uiteindelijk met elkaar hadden wel irritant en onnodig. Wat dat betreft was het plot weinig origineel. Het hele verhaal rondom Taylor haar onzekerheden vond ik wel goed en realistisch.

I strongly disliked this book. The writing style wasn’t working for me, it didn’t captivate me by any means. The footnotes were also just too annoying, in my opinion they didn’t add anything to the story.

This book wasn’t working for me. I didn’t really like the writing style so I never really got into the book. Everly also didn’t help, even though she was definitely going through a lot, I just couldn’t stand her.

Ik vond het wel leuk dat dit boek een net wat ander verloop had dan de vorige twee boeken. Verder was het gewoon een leuk verhaal om naar te luisteren, maar verder niets bijzonders.

Now that I have answers to the subplot, I do wonder what else this series will bring me. Seeing as there are still a lot of books to go.

Ik vond Brenna minder leuk dan Summer, maar het was voor alsnog een leuk verhaal om naar te luisteren.
