Did not finish book. Stopped at 14%.
I couldn’t bring myself to continue. Each time I picked up the book I was cringing. However, I do think my high school/early college self would have absolutely loved it considering my huge British obsession!

I can officially say that a book has  put me in a reading slump for being too good! The novel is perfection. There were lines in this that had my jaw on the floor because of how hard hitting yet beautiful they were.

Had me giggling and kicking my feet at times! But the he takes care of her while sick/wounded trope isn’t my favorite, so it wasn’t mind blowing for me.

I respect women’s wrongs and rights but apparently only found reading about these ones to be average.

Just fine. I love settings like this one, but a lot of the plot points and drama felt pointless and over dramatic, which I guess is sometimes the exact point of this style of teen novel, so this book likely just wasn’t for me. I will not be continuing with the series.

SO enjoyable! I had a blast with this one. The way conversations about race and sexuality are mixed throughout is refreshing. It touches on the reality of the topics while not making them the center focus. As someone who has not lived those experiences, I really appreciated having them written out for me so I could learn and understand. So nearly perfect!
