The Ruined by Renée Ahdieh
3.0

3.5/5 stars rounded down
I was really disappointed with how this book turned out after enjoying it so much before.
The miscommunication trope is my least favorite ever and this whole book was one miscommunication after another, one lie and misheld piece of information after another….
Celine, who had once been this strong female MC, took a major turn for the worse in this one. I thought her character devolution was truly disheartening in this book. You saw it in the 3rd book but I thought it was so much worse in this one.
I also thought the ending was super rushed and feels really unresolved. I’m not even totally sure how it all happened and it was all just kinda weird.
Super disappointed in this one
