I'm so sad that I didn't like this book :(
the characters felt very one-dimensional and flat, with their actions and dialogue feeling like they only happened to further the plot rather than it being something the character would actually say/do. There were so many characters and it was hard to keep track of who was who, especially since none of them had any distinguishing traits.
the main character felt like she didn't have a personality other than she cries a lot and the "romantic" relationships between her and two characters felt underdeveloped, forced and lacked any emotional connection and feeling.
Also, how creepy is it that a guy who doesn't know you tells you he dreams about you telling him stories and asks you to marry him?! Hell no!
the plot was weird and kind of hard to follow. It felt like the author compiled a scrapbook of plot ideas and tried to cram them all into one story, with more development, more time could have been spent on fleshing out the characters rather than introducing more.
Overall, this book felt underdeveloped and messy and should be targeted more towards middle-grade readers rather than young adult
1 star for that absolutely gorgeous cover and one for the fact I managed to finish the book
