Very well written novel. It speaks like a memoir. I will admit though, it was hard to read at some points. I felt so bad for Hadley. She seemed like a wonderful girl, but she just let Ernest walk all over her. She was so understanding...when I felt she should have stood up for herself more than once in a while. I think that making me feel so passionately about the characters is what made me like this book so much.

I loved this book. Loved it. I like that she chose to write it in Adam's voice rather than Mia's. It was a VERY GOOD decision. I also enjoy the fact that this book could do just fine as a stand alone. You don't have to have read If I Stay for it to make sense. However, I will say that you should read If I Stay first if you're planning on reading it at all, because if you read this first everything in If I Stay will be ruined for you. I loved the writing, I loved the voice that came through the narrative. Adam comes through perfectly full of angst. He's the perfect rock star. Have I said perfect enough? Because that's what this book was for me. Perfect.

Wow. Just wow. This entire series was amazing. This is honestly the first time I've read a series where each book continued to be better than the last (Harry Potter was close, but really...in seven books there has to be one semi-lame duck). I loved this book just as I had loved the prior two. It flowed seamlessly and the characters just continued to grow and develop. I am thoroughly disappointed that this series was publish posthumously. Mr. Larsson was an incredible author and I would've really looked forward to more of his work.

I really enjoyed this book. It's just so great. A good story of a girl who wants to be seen for who she is, not what she is...a girl. I liked Frankie. She's an intelligent and strong-willed girl. Unfortunately, she's stuck in an environment that doesn't allow her to thrive. There is a lot of misogynistic culture surrounding her. A lot of the males around her (and even some female role models) are condescending and treat her like a child. They don't appreciate everything she has to offer. I just loved how she was able to be such an intensely powerful character within her own right, even though it may not have been appreciated along the way.

I loved this book. It's a good book if it's 2 am and you have an alarm set for 6:30 am, but you consider just staying up to keep reading...twice. It reminded me quite early on of both the Matched and Delirium series. I enjoyed both of those, so why wouldn't I like this? YA dystopian fiction just seems to be my thing.

I really enjoyed the spin on the whole good vs. evil thing with this novel. It's kind of a twisted tooth fairy tale. The characters are really interesting and crazy imaginative. I was NOT a fan of the ending. Don't get me wrong, it's really written well, but I NEED to read the second one RIGHT NOW and I have other books on the list first. It's totally killing me to wait.
