I read this book 2015 and gave it 5 stars. I loved it so much. I loved the writing style, the romance, Juliette. 

This time around, I’m not as in love. I see this as a great introduction to characters. I think we’re already set up for such great growth that I know is coming. Not a lot of world building or plot, but since there are 6 books and a bunch of novellas I’m not worried about that. 

To be honest, it was a little slower than I remembered. I’m more critical of our male mcs too. Warner seems like a real psycho and Adam seems… just like a classic YA love interest. 

BUT needless to say I did enjoy it a lot. I’m a LOT older than I was when I read it the first time. I’m no longer the target audience at 23.  Still, I’m super excited to see how the story progresses past the original three books I read. I want to see how Madi’s writing develops too because she has written these books over the course of a DECADE. I’m sure she’s taught herself and learnt so much since this first book.
