The ending made me think of my rating. At first it was a two-star read for me, but the last five chapters were actually good. So I decided to up my rating to three stars.
3.5 stars
I'm having a hard time to properly rate this book. It was beautiful, without a doubt. But I expected even more of it? I loved LOVED Adaline's storyline, it was so empowering, beautiful, intense and sad to read. Alice was just an okay character for me. I felt like the romance was unnecessary in one of the storylines. Overall, this was a solid story.
2,75*
This was okay. I liked some of the beautiful sentences she used, but overall this book did not wow me enough.
It even took me forever (at least that's my feeling) to finish this.
Ok ... I was not feeling it. The book is a Romeo and Juliet retelling which can be one of the reasons that I didn't love it as much.
The book did have such great premise, but I felt liked it lacked and was a bit too slow at points.
Edit: after thinking about this book for a day, I noticed I only liked the last chapter. I didn't care about the characters at all. Just no.
No, no, no, no, no!!!!!! Too much unnecessary smut (skipped most of it, because it was way too cringy).
1.5 stars.
Everyone should read this book or at least watch the movie adaptation. Holy damn. This has made as big as an impact as the movie.
I watched ‘Die Welle' years ago in high school during my German class and It shocked me. Such a creepy feeling.
The book has the same atmosphere, so raw, so awful, so creepy.
