God awful book that screams pretentious. Having summered in the Cape Cod area and knowing of people who live a life similar to Cady's, I'm annoyed that this book got traction and the author had to use such awful characters in a beautiful setting/world to get her point through.
If I could give this zero stars, I would. The book was unbearable and I couldn't bring myself to finishing it.
THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD FUCKING BOOK I CRIED SO MANY TIMES MY HEART IS STILL ACHING I CANT GET OVER THIS I DONT KNOW HOW TO FEEL ANYTHING BUT PAIN ANYMORE MAKE IT STOP
2.5
enjoyable to a point. usually a book like this should take me 1 sitting to finish but my godddd i had to walk away and come back with this one. i'd say the book stays interesting until 65% in, then it changes pace and moves too fast.
also sorry but they were TOO in love. it's been maybe 2 weeks. three tops. relax. a romance like theirs should've been more of a slow burn, especially because this is book one of a series.
i really wanted to like this, and maybe i'll read the next two just because there was enough sprinkles of zsadist that i'm curious now. but god i hate their names.
