I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started this book, but it ended up being so underwhelming. Definitely better than the movie which had me hopeful for a while. However, it ended up just being a repetitive mess of love bombing and a lack of communication. The story had so much potential for character development and relationship exploration and sex education, but wow it missed the mark.

I will be very blunt. 

I read this when I was 15 (too young, I know), and even at the time I could not believe that a grown adult wrote this. It reads like a bad fanfic written by a teen. 

I am not even going to get into this abusive relationship depicted as romantic, and somehow desirable. Shameful.

Initial thoughts: This is the only book I’ve ever listened to in 3x speed because it’s the only book I was fine with only halfway comprehending. It was in Libby’s “Available Now” section, so I borrowed it. And no, I am not sure why I did it.

Reflection: But as it turns out, I feel that I have gained something by reading this series. I actually ended up listening to the audiobooks twice. The relationship is undoubtedly complicated, and so are many real ones, so it was interesting to analyze its evolution.

I ended up adding a half-star to my previous 2.5 after my second read.
