This books is one that I would only recommend to someone who doesn’t mind a long and drawn out story. I have heard many times that the story and anything that happens should be walking (moving the plot) and not talking (just filling space) and this story is too much talking.
The story -
Q wants to go rogue and get revenge on Colin after he stole her innocence and herself from her.
Max wants to be popular and ask Alex out but he doesn’t feel that he is good enough.
Charlotte wants to keep her relationship with Seb and make the most out of being young choreographer.
The execution -
This book is nearly 500 pages and has 17 chapters. However every chapter swaps POV multiple times and has to much filler content that is is repetitive and boring. I would say that it would be easy to cut a good 4 or 5 chapters and about 150 pages of just filler content.
Max and Charlotte’s POV is redundant until the last 40% of the book and makes it very difficult to get through. As you spend so much time not with Q is it hard to sympathise with her until she really breaks down and shares her story with someone.
My thoughts -
I wanted to DNF this and honestly had to keep fighting myself to make it through because I felt that it was an important enough message that I had to.
I love how realistic Q is and how raw the emotions are but it just isn’t enough for me to bump my rating from 2.5 stars.
