Such a shame this book was so underwhelming bc the plot twist was really, really nice.
I'm not sure I've read the same book as everyone else. I was ready to love this book, to give it five stars, i was ready for it to change my life but it was... not what people said it was gonna be.
First of all, I didn't like the romance between Georgia and Noah. The first 200 pages were just them not knowing each other and thinking, in each other's pov, that the other is hot and sexy and that they have a nice ass. We got it the first ten times really there was no need to comment on the other's body SO MANY TIMES. Even in the end, both their characters and the relationship felt underdeveloped and underwhelming and i did not root for them at all.
I also thought the book dragged way too much. I think there's a good 100 pages that could've been deleted from the book. The writing also felt odd, like sometimes you could see this very beautiful prose and suddenly you switch to Noah's pov describing Georgia's body in a very creepy and almost disgusting way.
Jameson and Scarlett were very cute, I did like their romance a lot more than Georgia and Noah though i thought it went a bit too fast, but their story overall is the only thing that kept me reading.
Now, the ending... The plot twist was mind blowing. It left me staring at the words and reading them again and again and gave me chills.
I just wish the whole book hadn't been so infuriating, boring and just overall bad and underwhelming.
