What in the young adult wattpad did I just read???
I do not understand the hype about this book.

I despised every single character. I didn't enjoy the writing. All the sentences are the same length. The entire book reads very wooden. There were very few emotions, and the thoughts are split up. I got so annoyed reading it. There was nothing I liked. I skimmed the entire middle. The interactions between people are cringey. There was nothing great here.
(Did you enjoy that paragraph? Because that's how THE ENTIRE BOOK is written!!)

There are a ton of plot holes as well!
Every character is pretentious and both main characters are convinced everyone is obsessed with them (or at least coming on to them.) 
Also FMC has a random nighttime visitor? And it's awkwardly written and then NEVER MENTIONED AGAIN??
I'm just going to assume it was Bob but maybe he's not "the void" after all


The reveal wasn't a surprise.

I'm also annoyed that no one batted an eye at the wife defending her husband in court 
or the fact that she got married the day after he was executed.
seems wrong but I don't care enough to give it a Goog.
