Rezension von claire☆☆☆☆☆┊<i>4.75 stars</i> : ̗̀➛ “Ignoring isn’t the same as ignorance, you have to work at it.” ⋆˚
Rezension von Lyndsey MartinezThe concept is great however I just can’t stand how it’s written. It’s all over the place in terms of flash backs and conversations. Honestly, the show is about a million times better. I feel like if I didn’t watch the show first, I wouldn’t have been able to follow along in the book. I had to force myself to finish this one. Super bummed.
