I did not enjoy this. I was looking for a rio from good girls vibe but this was not it. the forced/not forced spicy scenes are not for me. the audio narration I did not enjoy, especially the accents. the plot and characters barely had any depth.

when I first started this book I wasn't sure where it was going. its not necessarily chronological. but it all comes together as you keep going and I loved it. such an interesting and heartbreaking story. a great right for animal activists, but beware of content warnings.

this felt like a huge waste of time. 7 was supposed to be the end...then this... and now there is a book 9? while I enjoyed the beginning of the series as fun trash TV at this point I just was hoping to get cloosure. it's so over fluffed and feels really strung along. so much spice thrown in when it was unnecessary or unnatural just to make a scene R-rated. so much plot was skipped over, eluded to, or rushed. way too many POVs.

I felt this book was really slow, but I liked the ending.  I didn't like the blog article chapters as they basically just repeated the chapter before them. this book was just ok but not sure I'd recommend so I give it a 2.

this book went quickly and slow at the same time. it was a short actual timeframe and it felt dragged out. all the characters knew the current path wasn't right. I liked the ending but it would have been more satisfying if it wasn't one super short chapter.

overall an ok series. I preferred "all the boys". the characters were much more enjoyable. I also think if I was younger I would have enjoyed it more. hard to remember all those crazy strong teenage love feelings sometimes as a woman in her 30s.
reflective medium-paced

I loved listening to this as an audiobook and hearing him read it. nothing ground breaking but untold stories. it felt like a walk down memory lane. I enjoyed getting the curtain peeled back. bit on his life. I do wish there was a bit more but I understand he is telling stories of other famous people and wants some privacy.

this one was very meh to me. I can see that they combined some things from this book and the first into the Amazon show.

it felt like nothing really happened the whole book. I think if I was younger it would resonate better. it feels accurate of how these big feelings are portrayed when you're a teen. but I must be a grumpy adult now cause I looked at it like ugh grow up a lot.
informative medium-paced

its hard to rate someone's truth and memoir, but I'd give this a 3.5.

the brain is fascinating. it is so interesting to see how her actions and what is happening to her changes and the results of all the tests still being negative. 

however I know she lost a lot of memories from that time and some are not remembered accurately. it left the story itself feeling a bit flat.

this might actually be 4.5 I'm not sure.

the is a very unique writing style. no chapters, 6 parts that switch pov and also a narrator. very unique. I loved that.

the characters were so complex and tortured in their own ways. which again I loved. I was rooting for them the moment the meet cute happened.

the ending was just a tiny bit flat for me. I wanted it to feel as big as the rest. maybe one more page would have done that? but also maybe the author felt it was implied and didn't need it. it made sense, maybe I'm just greedy.

either way I read this all in 24 hours. would definitely recommend.
