• Loveable characters? It's complicated

3.5

Inte en särskilt händelserik bok, serien hade klarat sig utan den. Men ändå inte en dålig bok.

I have so much to say, but I’ll keep it somewhat brief. The character development, both for Juliette’s and Aaron’s individual character and the side characters were really good. I thought seeing the roles reversed (Aaron vulnerable and Juliette now fierce) was a challenge and compliment. The six different plot twists the author preformed at the end made everything (1) come together but (2) interesting as crap. There is still drama, no doubt, even Kenji says it. But seeing the chaos and the outcome/consequences makes me want to read the next couple.

Disappointing.

This entire book was a miscommunication trope and everyone being complete morons. Again, at least 200 pages could’ve been omitted from this book. It’s starting to get ridiculous. The ending was the only “good” thing about this book. 

 I genuinely genuinely do not understand the hype and high ratings for this book. Is it because there are some pretty quotes from the flowery language? Which I agree that there are and I do think some of the writing is beautiful. However, it is way overdone and most the time doesn’t add to the plot which there was practically none of this book.
