sigh i was dreading getting to the end of this book bcus i didn't want to finish this series.

nesta's story was hard to become acquainted with, i was upset with her for the first quarter of this book for being so stubborn and spiteful. but the more i read the more i found parts of myself in her and it just hit a little close to home in some parts.

i will say some of the things that happen in the series are just too happy-ending for me, can someone die? no one died but their dad, cmon i need some more pain. also it's too convenient that everyone somehow got mated to someone in their circle.

anyways i'm sad i'm done reading this and i want more, i like this series too much.
(too much straight smut for me though, i'm too fruity)

mmm this book was quite repetitive until half way through and then it was just thriller and high stakes for love lolz.

i did like it tho, idk why everyone is swooning for Rhys mmmm lucien red hair fox boy hmmm yeah i'd die for lucien...

tamlin is just too perfect-golden-strong-man, give me snarky fox boy but unpopular opinion i guess

mmm still trying to process this book

i did not know a damn thing about this book, i bought it because my manager at barnes said they had to put trigger warnings on the website for it so naturally i had to read it.

i liked it i think… didn’t hate it. i will say i enjoy books with mentally ill people, as a mentally ill person, if it’s not cliché

there were aspects of this book that were cliché and a little cringey. but also very dark topics that just kind of gave me a pit in my stomach. ollie was cringe, i will say that, that tattooed poet who feels everything. cmon AND he likes the notebook? i’ll pass.. mia was a great character in my opinion, there were moments in her breakthroughs that made me feel like they were just there for plot enhancement and not character enhancement. BUT her growth as a character was compelling to see (however her backstory just seemed too.. mm como se dice.. intense? i don’t know what i’m trying to convey.. ingenuine?) and all the parties they would throw in ollie’s dorm sounded like a 40 year old writing about crazy college kids and at times i just “is this really what you think a bunch of estranged-mentally-ill-delinquent young adults do?”

also i’m tired of straight smut, it just makes me uncomfortable now…

that’s all. it was aight. don’t know if i’ll pick up the next book.

i felt david’s grief, frustration, love and hopelessness all throughout this entire book. this heartbreaking yet hopeful narrative of a fathers love and despair for his son and his meth addiction opened my eyes to how addicts affect their surroundings. david did a spectacular job at seamlessly blending his narrative and research together. i felt myself going through david’s emotions as i read this book. david essentially descending into an obsessive desperate state as he scrambled for anything that would save his sons life. despite this particular narrative of meth addiction and how it infected this families life, it makes me think of meth addicts, or any addicts for that matter, that do not have the support system that nick did. david bent over backwards at times for his unconditional love for his son, but it just makes me overwhelmingly sad for addicts that don’t have access to the resources that nick did. who is forcing them into rehabs? who is talking to scientist all over the country for them? who is worrying about them?

despite my questions this book was amazing, i would suggest this to anyone. this story of pain and healing, is healing for the reader too. and the research that david has dumped into this book will give you some knowledge and stats that will swim in your brain for days.
