Disappointing.

This entire book was a miscommunication trope and everyone being complete morons. Again, at least 200 pages could’ve been omitted from this book. It’s starting to get ridiculous. The ending was the only “good” thing about this book. 

 I genuinely genuinely do not understand the hype and high ratings for this book. Is it because there are some pretty quotes from the flowery language? Which I agree that there are and I do think some of the writing is beautiful. However, it is way overdone and most the time doesn’t add to the plot which there was practically none of this book.

I’m so happy to be back in this world and this book did not disappoint. Also, that ending was INSANE! Age 14+

It’s gets pretty sad but it’s definitely worth reading to the end.
