Honestly got too busy with school and forgot about it. May restart another day, just wanted it to get off my “currently reading” tab. Nothing bad to say about it so far

Do I like the first book more? Yes. Do I think this one is better written? Also yes. This one just felt too superhero-y for me, but I gave it a slightly higher rating than Vicious because of the writing.

The only parts i liked about this book were the fact that it was a quick read and the characters. Just a bad rip off of any Hunger Games style book.

The time jumping in this book is really well done. The short chapters make you want to keep reading to find out what happens next.

Another great book by Emily Henry. Had to knock it down to a 4 because the 4.5 page makeout scene made me feel like i was interrupting something and i didn’t like that.

overhyped. not great character development and that’s literally the whole point of the book. 500 pages of set up, 16 of payoff.
