This was not exciting or entertaining at any point and because of this book I'm finally going to give up on reading things just because they're popular, ya'll have questionable taste. 

This read like a middle grade, not a young adult novel, but a very boring middle grade novel with terrible dialogue. It was also predicable in some parts, and then the ending was really lack luster.  

I'm giving this one out of five stars, I did not enjoy this at all. 

I listened to this for free on libbyapp.com

Okay so I unabashedly loved this. Yes, it was predictable and yeah, I figured out most of the clues and twists before they happened, but also? Just a fun read I couldn’t wait to pick up every evening.

One of the BEST books I've read in a while. 
The characters are so loveable. 
A thrilling story with some very unexpected twists. 
And: short chapters!!

Oh my god. Wow. Wow wow wow! I regret not reading this book sooner. It is so. Stinking. Good. I like to think I’m pretty good at predicting endings, but this one through me for a loop! I had nooooo idea what was going to happen throughout the entire book. Twists, mysteries, and suspense kept  me turning up until literally the very last page. I’m obsessed. I’m starting book two immediately. Good bye, sleep!

This. This book is written amazingly. How the author could make a book’s plot so complex and puzzling, yet still be able to keep the reader’s interest, takes real skills.

I’m not a fan of love triangles, and that is the only thing that puts me off about the book. Other than that, It's absolutely worth the read.
