5.0

I loved everything about this book from the pacing to the characters to the plot. The only nitpicks I have are about gaps in world building and that emotional beats aren’t given the space to have lasting impact but I think that’s just the fast paced narrative. I can’t wait to read the next book(s).

4.0

I really enjoyed this, it was thrilling and kept me hooked from the beginning. I am terrified as to how the series will play out because I know it will somehow end with me emotionally scarred (kidding, hopefully, probably). I love Day and June I find them to be interesting characters and although their relationship doesn't have much depth I am very much still rooting for its success. Definitely recommend, strongly suggest checking content warnings.

My middle school favorite and one of the all time best books I have ever read. I know nothing beats nostalgia, but this book still holds up. If I were to count I bet this would be like the fifth reread I've done maybe? Day and June are dear to my heart, I've remembered that all of these years but I forgot just how much contempt I hold for Thomas. Fuck that guy. I'm definitely gonna continue the series, but I just started uni so I might not have time!
