The only part I didn't like so much

was her coming back to life to have sex. Like I get it I don't wanna die a virgin either but there's more life to live other than sex!

I loved everything else though. No complaints!

You think you’ll love the book, but then you keep reading and ask yourself why is this or that on the book, the it gets sooo bad.
