I was laughing, squealing, swooning, gasping, and on the edge of my seat the ENTIRE TIME. The second I finished, I wished I could rewind my life a week to experience reading it for the first time again. The writing isn’t good, but the story makes up for that in my opinion.
It was so special to read a book with a bad-ass disabled character (I have a connective tissue disorder like Violet). And I think her disability makes the story so much more interesting, complex, and relatable than all the other dystopian-type novels with women main characters who are physically strong and clearly capable from the start.
Also, the romantic plot line is WOW. I wasn’t expecting it to get so sexually explicit, but I’m def not mad about it lol — just a heads up in case you aren’t into that.

But is this entertaining? YES.
It hits all the beats of a fun YA and I thoroughly enjoyed myself reading it.
Sometimes, you don't need a literary masterpiece. You just need dragons.
