Alright, it's about time I'm honest and tell you this book didn't quite do it for me. Not that it was bad, but it threw a lot of things I don't like together and then said "ta da!" and expected five stars because of the pretty prose. Um... sorry but no.

Am I hater? Of this book, absolutely not. That's why I gave it three stars and not the single, begrudging star I give to books that truly give me the ick. I do, however, think it is a story that could have been amazing, but instead turned into a very creepy, gropey romance with a very gross man-god-darkness-person.

Yes, my friends, this was a surprise(!) enemies to lovers of the oddest sort, and I was not overly pleased. I am so personally grossed out by men who touch women without their permission. I don't care if he's hot. I don't care if he's morally gray. It turned me off big time.

The writing, itself, was very nice. I can tell Schwab is a creative individual who doesn't follow prose cliches; her style is very unique, and I love that. I also enjoyed what I believed would be the main story: a girl who can never be remembered, and who lives practically forever, navigating her difficult life.

Those two parts are incredible. The romantic aspects... kinda yucky, if you ask me.
