Ratings and reviews

Ugh. This book was terrible. From the hurky-jerky writing to the confusing timelines to the irritating characters. Absolutely nothing redeems this in any way, shape or form.

We were reading this in a small group for school, and I had loved it even from the beginning. I decided I would purchase it so that I could read it at home when I had to and I was scared I might regret buying it. However I had gotten so attached to the characters and their story, when that twist happened I sobbed for so long lol. Anyway i do not regret buying this book, as I love it sooo much, and I normally don't like reading.

I shared Cadence's tears, pain, and her anger. Thank you so much for making this, you wonderful person. Whoever left a bad review just couldn't handle how amazing the twist was!
