So. That’s over.
Not gonna lie, I was really disappointed with this book. I don’t know if the problem was the actual story, or if I just hyped it up in my head too much. Either way it was a let down.
Juliette was barely in this book, so there were almost no Warnette scenes, which I didn’t understand since that’s what most of the rest of the series focuses on.
The ending didn’t really feel like an ending. There were a lot of plot points and loose threads that didn’t get explained or tied up. We never learn what happens after they defeat the Reestablishment.
We also don’t get to see Warnette’s wedding, which I’m so sad about. I wish the epilogue went further into the future so maybe we get answers.
This book is probably my most disappointing anticipation read.

CW: sexual assault, victim blaming.
This is an extremely dark & brutal book that tackles rape culture.
I don’t know if I’d put this in the contemporary category, since it reads more like a thriller.
The book had a slow start & I didn’t really understand what was going on in the story until about 1/3 of the way in.
The character Alex was a well-developed, antihero. Unfortunately for me the other characters fell flat & were underwhelming.
There was a ton of character development that has been extremely overdone in YA - the main hated girl is a cheerleader, the 2 guy best friends dating the 2 girl best friends.
There was also a lot of slut-shaming & victim blaming & for a story about such an important topic, I did not enjoy that aspect of the story.
While I didn’t hate the book, I felt it wasn’t anything that I haven’t read before & it could blend in with a lot of other stories with the same themes.

This is a raw look into the world of mental health, depression and suicide.
Most books that delve into this topic give a reason as to why the character commits suicide or is depressed. In this story, Vicky is depressed and she doesn’t know why. Depression doesn’t need a reason, a fact the author captures beautifully. All of the character development was amazing.
I also really loved how even though it was a contemporary, there was no romance. The story solely focuses on depression.
I have been trying to put a review together for this book since I finished it, and finally had to admit anything I write will never do it justice. Do yourself a favor and go read this.

I’m not big on graphic novels so I wasn’t overly hyped about this. It wasn’t horrible, just not for me.
