Ratings and reviews

Ok, so this book is confusing. In my opinion, I'm either very stuck up or rational, but like how do you get shot and just be ok like GURL 🤨 not how that works. Overall, it's too slow and boring. Nothing interesting comes until like the 6 or 5 chapter💀

I don't know why people hate this book!!! A good book for me is a book that made me feel things or it has good characters or a big plottwist. And this book had all of them I love it

All I can say is that when I found out what happened I had to reread it like 5 times and then I literally just burst into tears. Idk what else to say without giving anything away but overall I liked it. It just sucked b/c I got so attached to them by the time it started to unfold for real.
