Dit was een prima verhaal, maar Sawyer was af en toe wel een beetje irritant.

It was a good book and I thought the mental health representation was really interesting and important. I haven’t read a book before with OCD rep. But sometimes I found that Quinn was a bit too rude towards Tarek. Even though I can also see that he played a part in it.

Ik kon Dawn niet uitstaan, ze had gewoon in therapie moeten gaan. Ik vond Sawyer wel heel leuk in dit deel.

This was such a weird read, but it was also a little bit funny. Even though this is a novella, it added nothing to the actual storyline.

That ending was insane, I need to read the next book asap. Also how is this only the 5th book, I’m low-key scared for what will happen next. I’m not sure if my heart can handle it, these characters really have grown on me.

Dit was een passend eind voor deze serie en ik ben er vrij snel doorheen gevlogen. Het was geen moment saai, al vond ik af en toe de flashbacks naar het verleden wat minder interessant.

V.E. Schwab had er blijkbaar ook geen moeite mee om personages dood te laten gaan. In sommige gevallen echt jammer, omdat het leuke personages waren, maar het maakte het verhaal wel beter.

I loved this book so much, I really ate this up. It was humorous, a tad bit mysterious and very smutty. I also really liked how Ava is just like other girls and also tried to make a point out of it.

This was a stunning book, I loved the illustrations and the colors that were used. And the message behind this story was so strong, I loved it.

Even though this was a really short story, it was really fun and quite humorous.

This one was okay-ish, I wasn’t really hooked even though the ending was interesting. The actual ending, like the last page in the book ending, also seemed really weird to me.

Because was Hudson talking about Eve??
