There wasn’t much plot in this book but i think that’s what i liked about it! Franck and Anjeline were extremely likeable and relatable and fine i’ll admit it im in in love with Franck. I am,,,,, in tears.

i wanted to like this SO BAD! the premise is so cool and interesting but it fell flat for me. the only character i could stand was michael and dr lim , neither of which are the main characters. owen and hannah were aggravating and unlikeable, ESPECIALLY hannah, and it felt like her mental illness was added to simply give reason for her stupid decisions. who tried to have sex with the first guy they see when they’re on the run as a domestic terrorist???? Ugh. whatever.
