I'm not gonna lie, I forgot this was a wattpad book - I would say it's actually well written (for a wattpad book!) but the way they start dating is out of place like it would be in a mid wattpad fanfiction. I feel the tension, just not enough that they start dating and holding hands like he wasn't insulting her two seconds before. The ending is also rushed, "omg she is dead...or not, then nine years go by and they're happily married" in 100 words type of shit.
Oh, and as a design student, this cover will be in my nightmares.

I originally read this book on Wattpad years ago and wanted to revisit and see how the published version differed. Usually the published version is a lot better but unfortunately I don’t think that’s the case with this one. While there were some changes I really liked, such as the portrayal of Death being a lot more other and a lot less human, and also the change from Archer having 3 triplet sisters to just the one, I found that a lot of the depth was to the story and the characters didn’t make the Final Cut. I feel like I didn’t fall in love with the characters this time around. I found archer’s character to fall short of the original. He was less of an asshole which I appreciate, but that was part of his charm initially and taking that away left little behind. I also found Hadley to be a lot more plain and boring. She seems to have no interests or hobbies which annoys me. I wanted to enjoy this so badly but I just wish I re-read the Wattpad version instead. If you’re going to read this, I really recommend reading the original. Plus Wattpad is free so it’s a win-win.
