Her Sweetest Downfall by Rebecca Hamilton
5.0
I'm confused. This book is awesome and I have nothing bad to say, however it didn't have that final touch that makes a book really deserve 5 stars.
Isn't this weird?
But I loved the book. It was delicious. Ophelia is a cool character, though my favorite character is Lenore. The Ophelia/Ethan couple is epic. Unfortunately, the end scene seemed unfit for me, but I can't say it was bad.
The ranking would be 4.5 stars
As an ending to this review, I have a note for the author: @InkMuse you are damn cool!!

I was 13 when I read this. I don't think I'd enjoy it now.
As I'm revamping and updating my whole Goodreads account, I can't help change some rankings around. There are many books I loved that I think I wouldn't love if I read them as adults. There are books I think I'd hate if I read them now. I don't think I'd hate this one, but certainly not love it the way I did. At the same time I feel I'd be untrue to a book, if I changed its rating now. Why? Cause books, like people, come into our lives at a certain moment, at the right moment in which reading them would make a change within us. I really believe in that. Therefore, I feel like at that point in my life I needed to read this and it happened that I really enjoyed it. I'd be untrue to deny it and I'd be a total jerk to my younger self to consider her opinions irrelevant or uncultured.
I feel different towards books. It's natural, of course. But I don't want to feel bad about the younger me.
