Rezension von Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i>“Sometimes love and chaos are the same thing.”</i></b></blockquote> Actual rating: 3.5 stars YAS, I can't believe I am finally done with this book! I started this October last year and for some reason I couldn't pick it up again...until now. I enjoyed it, it reminded me a little of a futuristic Gossip Girl. Some characters shined for me and I really cheered for them, like Rylin (her fling with Cord was just so cute and I love how protective of her sister she is), Wyatt (I like him and I love Nadia's sarcasm. I wanted him to be with Avery) and most of all Eris (my strawberry-blond queen deserved BETTER). Avery is nice and all, but her whole drama didn't connect with me and at times she was bitchy without motive and got on my nerves. She also reminded me a lot of Serena van der Woodsen from Gossip Girl. And Leda...at first I felt sorry for her, but after everything that happened, I just want her to suffer a lot. She's bitchy without reason, jealous ans spiteful and thinks the world should revolve around her and her wishes. I absolutely detest her. Still, at times this was too much teenage-y, and I rolled my eyes a lot with all the drama going on. The ending left me so so mad, because it felt like everything just went to hell and everyone was powerless to do anything and things will be left like that. I do hope that the author will fix it in the next 2 books!
