it was really good actually but something was missing. maybe it was the fact that it felt slow-paced. 

however, nikolai is the best.

my second book by taylor jenkins reid and i already know it won't be my last.

oh my god... at first i was very skeptical as i was afraid i wouldn't like it (usually the case with popular books)... but i freaking loved it! 

it's one of those books that makes you think about how you want to live. evelyn is a brilliant character that you will come to love despite all the twists and turns.

taylor jenkins reid is a bloody genius!

first of all, ryle is a walking, talking, breathing... RED FLAG.

the only annoying thing was that she kept a diary and addressed it to ELLEN DEGENERES. she's awful and i don't like her, but like okay. i can get over it...

the first scene when ryle hit lily really hurt me. i felt so angry i wanted to scream. can you tell me how someone can be so disgusting as to beat their own wife? oh, damn it!

and it got me thinking. i got chills just thinking about how many women experience abuse and continue to tolerate it just for the sake of their kids or like in general... they're so afraid to do anything, to say anything. it hurts. like what the fuck. fuck guys like ryle. 

i was definitely hooked. i look forward to more books from this author as i am impressed with her writing skills and style.

what was my last straw was the author's note. like, it's inspired by her life? pain.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 10%.
it's just not for me. i'll keep it on my shelf, but after 33 pages i have no desire to go back to it.
