    Does watching 7 hours recap of this book count as having read it?

    I wish watching 7 hours review + recap of this book count as having read the book because that was what I did lol

    Absolutely not. Idk why but this book was very much marketed to me as two college roommates and best friends in an academic setting which was not AT ALL what this book was. The characters are not “morally grey” and “lovable” they are evil, and I did not like them at all. For me, it’s really hard to read about characters I don’t like and I pretty much hated all the characters in this book except for Sydney and dol. I wasn’t rooting for anyone and I didn’t care to see what happened because this wasn’t a friends to enemies thing, they were never friends in the first place. The author did not do a good job at all of setting them up and providing enough exposition to make the reader understand that they were friends so this literally read like a memoir/personal vendetta book for two psychopaths/serial killers which was not enjoyable to me. And there was no set up for them to want to be EOs in the first place, they just suddenly wanted to try to race to suicide without thinking about any of the repercussions? What? And merit city literally felt like a cardboard/ghost town, so devoid of life. I didn’t like addie larue but I thought I’d give schwab another chance, but this is starting to confirm for me that I’m not a fan of this authors works, particularly her characters.

    Why do I feel like I’m reading the memoirs of two psychopaths as opposed to two college roommates/friends? Idk this book is not what I thought I’d be..

    really great world but I just couldn't get into it, plot really dragged at times and was SOOOO slow. The reveal at the end was really underwhelming because you knew who the main killer was like 1/4 of the way into the book. Disappointing

    Ana is sooooo funny. I'm obsessed w the little speaking quirks I've given her in my head when I read her lines. I fear Robert Jackson Bennett has done it again... king of coming up with unique little fantasy worlds I am in love w
