Gave me a bad vibe so I looked at it on here and it had a bunch of reader submitted trigger warnings that caused me further discomfort. I decided not to continue reading.

3.5

honestly when reading the beggining to the middle of this book i was prepared to give it a 5. however when i made it to the end and finally finished, i was kind of disappointed. it wasn’t a bad ending, just felt like it was missing something. some positives though, this book has some amazing quotes and i think emma cline is a great writer, and really has a way with words, which made the book very enjoyable. however i do still have to give it just a 3.5, again just felt like something was missing. ps don’t let this review deter you from reading the book id say it’s definitely worth a read, especially if your interested in the hippie cult-y? vibes.
