I think some of the poems are really great and then some of them not so much. I have seen a lot of her poems as pictures on instagram. Those are really the best ones though. The others felt kind of 'forced' for me though. idk.

Maybe it's just my low expectations but I found this book not as bad as people told me it would be. The aging in this book is kind of weird. The characters act more like 14 year olds then 17 year olds which is the opposite of what most YA does. The story also doesn't grip me that much anymore. Probably won't be reading the next one.

Loved this! Really nice for flipping through quickly and the comics are so relatable.

More like a 3.5.

Why do people rate this 5 stars and swoon over Harden? This is obviously a abusive relationship, how do people think this is romantic wtf?

This sounds like Harden. It's just a fact, no denial that he 'loves' Tessa. People in an abusive relationship might love eachother, but that doesn't mean it's cute or something to strive for. Seriously how the fuck is this romantic?



Harden having a hard childhood is no excuse for the shit he pulls, he's still a dickhead. Tessa isn't 'strong' because she tells him she doesn't like the things he does if she doesn't actually goes through with it. People say it's realistic and while that might be true that doesn't make it okay and it's absolutely not something to romanticize. The ending was literally the most disgusting thing and people will defend it because he loves her now? This doesn't fucking matter because if he never fell in love with her he would have still done it. It still makes him a disgusting piece of shit. The excuse 'I didn't know you by then' is the dumbest thing I ever heard. So it's okay to pull this kind of stuff if you don't know a person? WTF what is wrong with people. Tessa's 'friends' all knew about this and only felt bad because they know Tessa now, but if they didn't it would have been okay? Don't even get me started on Tessa though. She is supposed to be the good character, but can't stop cheating, slutshaming and being judgy.

Barf.

I just don’t get the hype with this one. There were some parts I liked where I found myself smiling listening to this while riding my bike and I also liked that there was a lot of cultural stuff in it.

BUT the story was all over the place. First there was the app contest, then randomly there was a talent show, then they were all of a sudden done with the app. The instalove was too much, a lot of things and conversations were too unrealistic (Isabelle after the talent show, the thing with Rishi’s brother and Celia), Dimple could be so annoying and mean, Rishi changing 360. Also at the last 100 pages it looked like the author all of a sudden decided to put ‘life lessons’ and ‘memorable quotes’ into the book and it just sounded fake and dumb. They didn’t fit the moment or the character saying it.

So nope, not for me.

This was quite a dissapointment. I didn't expect not loving this since the first one really suprised me so much. Lack of communication causing relationship issues are a really easy and cheap way to write a story. It's almost never believable or done right, but normally I can get over it since it's only a subplot. In this book it's the main event and even though it does make a little sense because of the way Don is it still annoyed me SO MUCH. I also didn't like Don as much as in the last book, but at least he didn't do a 360. Rosie her actions were so stupid and didn't make any sense. After that the sotry still had to be finished though, so the author just fixed everything quickly in a total unrealistic way. But hey, everythings all right now, so it doesn't matter right? Just no. I added a star however for Don, I love how he isn't the typical main character. He brought a few refreshing situations as long Rosie wasn't part of it.

This is an addicting read, but not as good as the first one. Gideon was a bossy asshole and I didn't really enjoy the on-off relationship storyline.

Such a fun middlegrade series. The translation is a bit awkward (or maybe it's also the original writing), but I really enjoy the story!

O my god. Even though I thought about this ending in the beginning I'm shocked. Wow. Why isn't this book talked about more?
