What I liked about it...
It is very easy to read. It’s short and though I find it less intriguing, I didn’t lose my focus. It was an okay read for me.
What went wrong…
Well, I don’t know. I don’t have any strong feelings for this book. Though I might say that the plot / story is not typical, I know deep within me that it’s not quite brilliant or remarkable. I mean, the book is good but I was not surprised with the plot twist because I saw it coming. When I started reading this (or any book), I don’t read reviews because I know it will spoil the book for me and I know that this will have a really unexpected twist. But again, I knew it from the start so I was not surprised (maybe because I’ve read books with the same twist) and I didn’t feel anything except regret for the young lives that was lost. I resented Cadence.
My Verdict
If you’re in for a nice story, go for it. Again, this is a good book but it’s just not for me and I feel bad for not liking it cos a lot of people loved it lol.
MY RATING
★★☆☆☆
