America is so indecisive, I just can't. Anne was my favorite character. And Celeste is a bitch. So yeah, that's all I gotta say about this book.

I must admit that this was a stick & easy read. & honestly, I'm also thrilled to read the next book of the series - although many aspects bothered me.
first of all, America. she's just so different, unique & just herself. all of the girls suffer from internal misogyny, it's so heartbreaking honestly.
the love triangle is also just so unnecessary - maybe just in my eyes because I haaate this trope. 
also, the diversity?? yeah. 0. all whities ofc. I already expected just straights so I'm not surprised.
the world building was a huge let down. it kinda confused me.. a lot

Well… this series is a rollercoaster. Read the whole 3 book series in 3 days though—but—I don’t think I liked it…? I mean, yes it was interesting, but my obsession was just me aching for more romance; like, I just wanted them to have eye contact! It’s such a slow burn, but the satisfaction at the end of the series is real. The thing is, I didn’t continue on to the 5th book—read the 4th—but then realized

Maxon and Americas daughter doesn’t end up with who I wanted her too so I stopped at around page 100 of the 5th book

Definitely recommend the first 3, just not the last 2. Have fun being tortured!
