my opinion: 
If I'm honest, I didn't like the book. I didn't have any motivation or interest to keep reading it. The book was protracted unnecessarily. 
There were even some really cringe scenes. 
And there is another point: The genre is actually fantasy and romance. But the only fantasy-thing the book had were in the last pages. You can't really call it a fantasy book.

my opinion:
I just... Wow. I didn't expect the end. The cliffhanger... Not what I imagined that would happen.
I know there is a large number of readers, which didn't like this book, but I can't say the same. Maybe it's not a five star read, but it was definitely not 1-3 star read. I love Ava, she is a sunshine and character you get really fast attached to. But there were somethings I didn't like, so it's not a five star.

quote:

Are there awful people in the world? Yes. Do awful things happen? Yes. But wonderful people exist and wonderful things happen too, and if you focus too much on the negative, you miss all the positive.
