THIS WAS SO CLOSE TO A 5 STAR. my only issue was that i felt like the tone/mood was a little bit all over the place because the setting wasn’t fully fleshed out or included.

not my thing…. it was required for school so maybe i would’ve liked it more on my own time but i just hated the ending, didn’t find the characters loveable, and i just didn’t find the world to be that interesting.

I really liked this book. I was annotating this like CRAZY at the beginning. After the 100 page mark, I fell out of it a bit. I was struggling to pick it up because there was just avoidance of the actual romance. I pushed through but after I got to page 200-250 ish, I began to enjoy it more. I absolutely LOVED the ending so overall I enjoyed this a lot.
