I loved the plot of this story. The writing was great, very descriptive and it just really pulled you in. I can see why this book is hyped up so much. But, there were some things I didn't love. There were sexual things both talked about directly and indirectly, but nothing more than that. Also, there were a few times where the dword showed up. Overall, great story, loved Maxon, but wish some things weren't included. will continue the series

Reread January 2023:
This book is still got to be my favorite book! I had forgotten so many details because I have read so much since then, but it still sucked me in and I didn’t want to put it down during the reread! I LOVE this book and still feel like nothing quite compares to it no matter how hard I try.
Original review from 2016:
Honestly one of the best young adult books I have read in a long time. Though it is fairly predictable it was still a major page turner for me as I read it in a day. An easy but quite enjoyable read. A good taste of sweet romance with a little action. First off, it is clean for once. Second, sex is seen as something valuable (it's not a main subject but just an observation that stuck out). Third, both the men and woman are strong characters. And finally, it's just so nice to read something refreshing and mainly light hearted. I don't read fiction often because I find it either disappointing or disheartening but this book has been a refreshing read. It would make a great TV series or movie. I want to read the next books so bad I ordered them on Amazon before I finished this book.
