quillify_'s review against another edition

The mystery aspect was intriguing, Noah Shaw was cute but annoying most of the time. But I absolutely lost it when the author decided that Mara's mother would be from India and then decided to name her Indi. *slow claps* how original. JFC, just use a baby name website for naming your South  Asian characters. 
God, this is why I hate 2010 era books. Comfort reads? More like subtly racist reads that are comfortable because they cater to a white audience.

i enjoyed this book. it wasn’t what i expected. the plot was a loose hanging thread and the characters have severe cases of latent misogyny but it was a fun read. i think it barely passes the Bechdel test tho. also the main love interest is possessive and weird in a way that only Harry Styles wattpad fan fiction readers can enjoy but hey, it was written in 2011. also the whole portrayal of mental health was kinda sucky. but the symptoms for the most part were kind of accurate!
