i like the ideas/concepts/arguments this book brought up but i dont think it was very effective in holding my attention and i think it's examples didnt relate to me enough for me to take what's being said seriously.

twist after twist after twist. Holly Jackson's writing never fails to captivate me. It's hard to put down the book once I start and let me tell you it's worth it. I was incredibly anxious and angry the whole time and I'd say that's pretty good. 

-maddy redemption arc 
-oliver is so horrible dude i couldn't take it. so job well done Miss Jackson.
- ARTHUR BEING THE "BAD" GUY.... okay but i actually kinda want him so bad πŸ˜ƒ

the book ending open like that too😭😭 ahhh

this was really really good though, i forgot how much i love to read her books!

it's been a little under 2 hours since finishing and im back bc i have more to say.

THIS BOOK MADE ME SO SAD WHEN SHE IMAGINED HER MOMS VOICE THROUGH THE WALKIE TALKIE. i cannot stop thinking about this book and the characters. i need another one. i need arthur and red to run away together from their messed up past. 

i also need to know who else voted yes and what did the curtains look like. i could have a whole second story of just arthur and red being happy (maybe a mystery there too)
