My first Adam silvera book and I loved it!

one of the best books ive read this year !

only 300 pages but the characters were so well put together and it felt like I knew every single character personally... like how is that possible to do in 300 pages??? it usually takes a whole series to get connected to characters that much

enough drama to satisfy me but too much incest... like more than Colleen Hoover usually writes in a book.

I am a Colleen Hoover stan through and through, love her writing, love the drama she brings to the table but the women clearly has an incest kink and she gotta sort that out in therapy and not in the NY times best sellers chart.

this has been in my audiobook library for ages, I didnt read it for ages because I thought I wouldnt like it but I finally started it and wow, I surprisingly liked it.

The sequel is $18 for a paperback so yeah I don't think ill be reading the sequel until its down to $12 or something lol

im a mute girl so I cant speak so having a main character not be able to speak was comforting even though her not speaking meant lots of people try to harm her but weirdly comforting

Went into this book thinking it would be a new favourite.. the disappointment I feel right now is indescribable

it started really amazing and I could ignore the major plotholes but it went the only way I didn't want it to go in.. so yeah :/

Went into this with low expectations because of how much I hated daisy jones and the six but wow.. I'm blown away

I felt like I knew Evelyn Hugo personally (and every other character too!)
I just want to have more Evelyn Hugo stories but she's not real and ugggghh

so happy I finally read this!

such an infuriating book. It's a book about men just treating this poor woman so badly and she is just a shell of herself by the end of it.
I want to actually fight every single man in this book. The whole time i felt like screaming “LEAVE TESS ALONE” and yet men keep coming back to abuse her even after they say “i never want to see you again tess”
Tess just never caught a break and i wanted to give her a hug the whole time.
It would be a 3 star read but the ending gave me a sour taste in my mouth.. ruined the whole story.

A bunch of nonsense.

re-reading a favourite can be a hit or miss, you either don't like it as much as the first time or like it just the same
but this book was 10000x times better the second time. This has always been a 5 star book to me but its been 5 years since I read it and i wanted to re-fresh myself on this story (even though this is a book I remember every detail from and ive watched the movie a couple million times)

this is the only book that had me nervous, so nervous that I had to put the book down. I knew what was going to happen but my heart still hammered in my chest.

Characters are a huge part in if I like the book or not.. this main character was a transphobe the entire time. I mean, its right for her to overwhelmed with this huge truth reveal, she is allowed to be and its alright for her to be mad about not knowing the truth (even though Mellie didn't have to tell her if she didn't want to) but it doesn't excuse misgendering her, not calling her mum anymore, going to live with the people your mum said really hurt her (the fact she had the hear it out of her mums bullies mouths to believe it..).
Such a selfish and evil main character.

once you've read 5 mystery novels then you've basically read them all. I guessed what happened straight away because of the formula the author used.. the basic mystery author way of writing.
The pacing was off and just wasn't an enjoyable read for me.
i gave it two stars because i did like the writing but that's about it.

Heather, Fern and Amber were the best fairies and I will not accept anyone else opinions

Loveddddd it!
I would love to read about eleanors life, no matter how “boring” it is, for hours and hours.
I liked the plot twist and I liked the plot but I just reaaaally liked Eleanor as a character and she kinda reminded me of Lou from Me Before You, a character I would also love to read about for hours!

I won't say much because the raven boys stans have told me to k*ll myself about... 100 times? over the fact that I hate the series

The authors note at the end of the book is a must read, read it and it will explain everything I want to say.

This author explains so well how sexual assault is something you can't move on from, it stays with you and no one can understand how bad it tears you apart even if 10 years have past.

Thank god that's done. I never want to see this book again.

2.5

Charlotte Bronte is one of my favourite authors but this kinda...

I'll re-read in the future since my mind was kinda absent when reading this !

also the audiobook was hilarious. heads up to audiobook casters, don't get non-french people to speak English in a French accent wtf it made me cry laughing
“hewwo Lucy, i wove you uwu” it sounded like that

Charlotte bronte did warn at the start that the beginning of the book was boring..and it was but she did warn me so can I be mad about it?

I really enjoyed the chapters where Caroline and Shirley were together. All the other chapters were a hit or miss.

The last 100 pages were a bit boring to me, if they weren't then this book would be a 4 star :)

Nearly made me cry :(((

I love books set in wwII but none of those books were as raw and detailed as this book.
It went into such detail that I felt so sick and a little bit nauseous but I'm glad it did.
It needs to be detailed because recently I've seen our generation kind of brush of the holocaust as just a school subject.
When I was in high school, I switched schools every year. In year 7, we learnt about the holocaust and then I switched schools and year 8, we learn about the holocaust and so on. I learnt about the holocaust every year for 5 years because of pure coincidence but that made me passionate about history and I excelled in school work when it came to world war II but it also made me realise how copy and paste schools are. Each year for 5 years, I had to learn the same thing, the EXACT same thing. There are 4 terms in a year and in history class, we learnt 4 history subjects a year so we learnt the holocaust for a term but somehow it never went into detail. ever.
They never went into any detail of the sufferers, which I feel like is the most important thing to learn about to make sure this never happens again.
‘they were gassed' ‘they starved' ‘pit of bodies' yes that is horrible but students need to know more than that so they can really learn and feel something. The school system needs to go into detail into how these poor people lived whether it was in camps, their own houses or escapees.
All teachers kept repeating is that millions of people died which just shocks kids with the huge number but I think to make these kids feel something, mention how they were killed, how they were separated from their families, the torture, the forced labour.
Idk I'm just so upset that people now days don't remember the victims of the holocaust.

Loved some stories, hated some but overall, I liked it :)

idk... it feels like a middle grade book that tries to hide with YA books

3.25 stars ⭐️

first of all, this book is about a girls dad that dies... ok I can relate because my father also died but I don't want to get too sad..... oh ok the main character shares the same name as my dad. So reading this I was constantly being reminded of my dad... not a good thing but it's not the books fault

I guessed the plot twist a page before it was revealed so I feel like a genius rn


The writing is amazing and I can't wait to read more from this author !

FINISHED: after DNFing this book 3 times.. I've finished. I've done it. One of the worst books I've ever read.


edit: DNFing for the 3rd time 48% through. So awful.

DNF at 46%
Will pick up again in the future.

Ive never rated a Cassandra Clare book under 4 stars before :(
What I read of the book was horrible.
Boring story, bland characters, just everything was so bad.



Emma and Julian are the worst couple, I mean they aren't a couple yet but its obvious they will be and I don't want to be here for it.

Story was good but the characters made the book insufferable to read.
....Like what was the point of writing Cat as a character if we weren't meant to hate her?
Characters only had stereotypes, no personalities.

I love humour in books but as an author you need to know when to stop. Characters being near death or going through something serious and then a character says something “funny” every paragraph and it just ruins it. It cuts down whatever emotional feeling a reader might have when reading an emotional scene.
