This book went back and forth so much of going fast and then extremely slow. The ending also seemed very rushed and that they skipped details where as some of the details earlier on in the book could have been skipped.

I wasn't a big fan of this one.. it wasn't very unique and the plot was very similar to other books in this genre. Nothing really stood out - but don't get me wrong. The storyline is sick and disturbing and completely repulsive, especially since things like this happen. It isn't rare that these situations occur and these monsters exist.

I just felt like the writing in this was poorly executed and I didn't really feel anything. It was disturbing but the only detailed parts were the graphic scenes. It was very repetitive and had way too many grammatical errors and misspelled words..
I get the novel was written on Wattpad, but some editing definitely needed to be done.

There were also some parts that were left unexplained and kind of had a huge build up only not to be brought up again. It needed more details, more development, more umph... it was lacking a lot. It had a lot of potential and the story was good enough to keep me reading, it just needed more to get a higher rating from me.

Not very well written, but entertaining. I really just wanted to know if the guy got caught and how. Had a realistic ending.

This book was amazing! I usually don’t love past and present chapters but in this case, it was definitely the way to make this story have more depth. I loved all the characters and never got confused between any of the “flowers”. It’s crazy how that environment affected Summer over time and how Lewis never gave up even after 7 month. He was so supportive throughout everything and the past stories between Summer and Lewis were the most adorable thing I have ever read!! It felt like this book was very well thought out and this book was an overall AMAZING book!! Definitely recommend!

held off reading the for a while but after reading it I was honestly surprised. I wasn’t sure about the concept when I read the flower part though at first but it all made sness in the end. I loved how the dates where incorporated and we got different POVs. Though the ending was happy, I didn’t like it.
