My Opinion
I heard so many rave reviews about this book but I was left disappointed as it wasn’t as good as I was expecting it to be. One of the main characters in this book has a mental illness and people focused on this in their reviews. I really want to read more books about mental illness as it is something that I know very little about but would like to learn more as it is such an important issue. Whilst one of the characters does have a mental illness this isn’t the main focus of the book. The book instead focused on the relationship between Vivi and Jonah. I was not a fan of the romance. It happened very suddenly and I would have liked to have seen more development. I also didn’t, particularly like Jonah. This book was dual perspective and I really would have preferred to read Vivi’s perspective. I did feel that the author’s portrayal of the mental illness did seem realistic. Overall this was a good book but it wasn’t as good as I was expecting it to be. I think that this book was very overhyped which meant that I had really high expectations for it and unfortunately these were not met.

I wasn’t a fan of this book either… I didn’t like the insta-love and I didn’t really like vivi as a character. Have you read of emery Lords other books?

No, I am really hesitant to pick anything else by her. I may do in future but at the moment I won’t be reading of her others…it wasn’t so much the writing it was the insta-love and vivi x
