Second Sally Rooney book i've read and equally just as bad.
idk if the world is hyping her books as a big joke or am i just missing something?
The Sally Rooney cult is huge and i was hoping to like her so i can be one of the SR girls but no :((
It started so good but the book is broken up by the introduction of smut. The plot and characters become so bad once the author is focused on getting the readers attention with smut.
3D characters turned into cardboard characters that have sex and suddenly the plot doesn't exist anymore.
It's a cop out in some books and this might be one of them.
I've read a Penelope Douglas book before and it was great which is why I picked up this book but I won't do it again after this.
1 star book but rated it 2 stars because I can't deny that the start of the book didn't slap
2.5 stars
i dont know how to feel. I was excited to see what was gonna happen at the start but it dwindled as did my enjoyment of the book. By the end i didn't really care for any of it.
It felt like a middle grade book most of the time which was weird because this book is about murder and other severe crimes. The main character talked like a 12 year old girl and acted like one too.
idk... do i rate it 2 stars? 3 stars?
im so happy I found this book.
Such a short book but everything was so detailed and I feel like I knew the characters in real life. that's how amazing the writing was.
i've been excited to read this for years and it turned out to be the biggest disappointment.
The book could be a million times shorter, i don't need to read 3 whole pages about lightning lighting up the sky... like i get it.
Characters had no personality, book was way too slow paced and not enough stuff happened given how long the book was.
i skimmed some pages because they just ramble and ramble
you know when you're reading something so boring that your brain starts saying to you “blah blah blah blah blah blah blah” yeah.. the last quarter of this book was just that. Blah blah blah BLAH blAH blah blah blah.
the copy i own of this book has rainbow edges so that's cool i guess but not cool enough to raise it's star rating.
A very eye opening book about victim blaming, how the world has treated women for as long as we have been alive, and the highschool pack mentality ruins lives.
the scariest thing in the world: teenagers.
this reminds me of my school days, just teens being awful to each other and popular boys getting away with stuff they shouldn't be.
all the characters in this book deserved a round house kick to the head (well not all but cant be bothered to name who)
loved the ending!!
I first read this in 2020 and rated it 1 star and my review was the words: “never again”
Well I read it again because I wanted to give it a second chance, especially since I was in a better state of mind and wow yeah it's a solid 3.5 stars for me.
Daisy annoyed me to no end but I loved how unique each character is and now I can't wait to read Malibu rising lol
I'm free!!! Worst experience of my life!!!
this got hit hard by the second book syndrome and it was so bad that I don't think i'll ever look at the 3rd book
it would be one star but some things in the story did shock me and it deserves a star for making me gasp like once
dnf at 36%.... i just can't. I only Dnf books if i pass the half way mark but this is literal torture.
What happens when you're in the mood to read but too lazy to get up and get a book from your shelf? Free ebooks happen.
Short and surprisingly sweet. I usually wouldn't read a sequel for a book like this but I'm invested in Dylan's family and I want to see Ellen get a taste of her own medicine so I guess I'll be reading the sequel lol
This series was a steaming pile of rubbish.
I was so excited to read these books and I've been let down.. HUGELY.
The characters? Bland. The story line? Messy. The writing? Childish.
Just.. yeah... never reading these again. I don't want to see these books ever again.
alright listen.... SJM is my favourite author and i trust her with my life but girl wtf is this book???
I know smut is a big trend right now but there is such thing as too much smut. The storyline is just smut. I'm happy that sex positivity is being talked about and being included in books but when sex is favoured over telling a story... just upload that shit to wattpad. Smut books are great but this is a fantasy erotica book... i'm expecting action and magic at least a couple times.
I don't need to know when a male characters balls twitch every other chapter, i need to know the plot line.
never thought SJM would do this but she really made the main character one of those people who joke at the worst times. Bryces life would be on the line and here she is thinking shes doing stand up comedy. Like girl be SERIOUS for once. Idk but being sarcastic to people who are about to kill you is a bad move idk. I love funny characters but theres a time and a place. I can't connect emotionally to a story or characters if they arent serious in serious incidents.
Hunt is very plain and boring to me. Another Fae male with a big willy.... its getting old at this point.
"you're my mate" STFU WITH THE MATE SHIT. Can we not have a couple that are just simply in love but not tied together by this mate stuff? If i hear "you're my mate" ever again in a SJM book...
the end sucks btw. but when the ACOTAR characters showed up... maybe my jaw dropped a lil bit but i'm sick of that crew too so yeah the end sucks
I would do anything to go back to the Throne of Glass times. Bring back my man Chaol bruv
this is a very hyped book but also a very hated book so i was wary... popular and hated? i'll probably hate it then right? wrong. I liked it! I loved the writing so much and the character development was great and i didn't guess what would happen half way through the book like i do with some mystery books and i only guessed 2 pages before it happened so yay?
the book creeped me out and actually scared me which was unexpected and i do think i'll have trouble shaking this story off me but that means it was a great read.... just a bit scary for me :((((
I didn't go into this thinking I would like it, I thought it would be an average quick read but yeah...
I hate instalove.
average like the first book but there is something that's pulling me to read the next book and I don't know what it is
I'm in looooove with this book.
it's based slightly on a true story which sends shivers up my spine. I can't imagine being forced to be a food taster, not knowing that the meal in front of you could be your last.
This book was so fast paced and it would take 3 hours max to finish. It took me 3 days because everytime I picked up the book life's responsibilities called so that sucked but I'm glad I took 3 days to read it because savouring this book was worth it!
such an addictive book! I just finished this with the biggest smile on my face!
I did have some problems with it, hence why it isn't 5 stars lol
i was hoping it ended with every character dying a slow torturous death but they just went with the classic “and everyone lived happily ever after” route instead.
