4.25 ⭐️ A bit hard to get into at first but by the end, I really appreciated how fleshed out these characters were. I hated them, I loved them, I questioned everything they did constantly, and I related. I realized the eldest sister was rubbing me wrong the whole time, until the end and I realized “holy shit, I am her” 😅. I’ve never experienced grief of a sibling, nor the closeness of sisters in general, but after reading this - I feel more attuned to both. Great character driven book

This does what a book is supposed to do. It made me uncomfortable and to take a second look around at the world we live in. Question it. The author used real life examples and actual cases to make a point about the world we live in. We are only a few steps away from living in this fucked up dystopian world.

2.5 ⭐️ My aphantasia made it so hard to enjoy this. I just felt constant struggle to imagine what was happening. All in all, I just couldn’t stay engaged reading this, I wasn’t counting down the hours until I could pick this book up again. The last 30 pages IMO were soo unnecessary, it felt like a random filler episode of a 22 episode show but occurring AFTER the season finale. 😵‍💫

I’m so sorry… not my cup of tea. All I was thinking were the following two items 1. What is the point? 2. If the narrator sings one more goddamn time, I will lose it. Don’t get me wrong, good writing - just…. boring.

Genuinely what the fuck? A trope-galore book and not in a good way. The repetitiveness of this had me wanting to gouge out my own eyes. You don’t even wanna know how many times these sons of bitches were captured. How many times did I read “I should hate him, but I don’t” “I should kill him, but I can’t.” “ I shouldn’t want this, but I do.” How about you learn how to stand your fucking ground and hold a grudge! I would have cut all these ppl out in half a second. And this applies as much to Kai as it does to Paedyn! It’s like nobody stands for anything!!!

3.5 ⭐️ I really enjoyed Pet, but this one was a little more lackluster for me. I think it just needed to be longer, the peak of the story was just so short lived and easily resolved that it left me thinking “that’s it?”. I was also hoping to get more backstory on the angels and their world in this one, but it was very much left as unknown still.

4.5⭐️I have been steering away from the contemporary romance genre for a while now, just occasionally sprinkling them in as my palette cleansers and wow is my palette cleansed. I love this. Normally I can devour books like this but I didn’t want it to end, I wanted to savor. Every time I picked it up, I was smiling ear to ear like a buffoon. Really I’m only docking 0.5 stars because I felt like the conflict should have been bigger, missed opportunity to really stew some jealous feelings! Very cute, so sweet, with flaws but idgaf - I had fun.
