Zyla & Kai by Kristina Forest
4.0
KRISTINA FOREST NEVER FAILS TO ENRAPTURE ME WITH HER BOOKS! I thought the concept of this story was so interesting with. Being able to read a love story begin, end, and then begin again was something most books never show us. In romance books we usually only see the start of the love affair. Zyla and Kai were just every part of precious! Throughout their relationship I really felt how much they loved and cared for each other but it almost felt like it wasn’t meant to be with how much went wrong. The miscommunication, codependency, and irresponsibility almost made it seem like their love story was a train wreck. I loved how Kristina Forest depicted the issues we rarely see in YA books like that. She knew how to write teenagers who were so deeply in love but still couldn’t help but to let their deep seated issues with love get in the way of their relationship. Even though I was so down for this story I felt like this book was way too long. This book was 480 pages and it started to drag at parts. I get it we’re being fake through the ups and down of an entire relationship but I still feel there was parts included that just unnecessary. Seeing both Zyla and Kai’s beliefs on love be challenged and changed for the better so they can experience the love story they both deserved from the beginning was just chef’s kiss. Kristina Forest proved to me once again how charming YA can be while also being thought provoking. So good!
