buddy read with marlene

I'm probably not going to do a full review on this one, so in a nutshell, this is how I felt:
-this book didn't have enough suspense
-I didn't really care for the characters
-the ending was...awful?? and the lead-up to it was pretty bad, tbh.
-I liked Anna, maybe? Idk?
-it didn't really add anything to the genre
-without the formatting of having news articles, interviews, and text messages it would have been nothing at all special
-the text talk was HORRIBLE. I actually laughed.
-I will admit that the plot was vaguely interesting? kind of? mostly disappointing.
-uhhh the main is going to Yale and she's SO SMART but yet there's an actual line where she's describing the court setting and says "something called a writ of habeas corpus" like honey....you should know what that is. I know what that is and I'm not going to Yale.
-end rant?

All in all, I don't regret reading this. I love buddy reads. I think I was just expecting more out of this book to be honest.

Honestly, this was surprisingly good! I won't be writing a full review but my only problems were with the writing (kinda cheesy at times and the dialogue was a tad weird) and the odd teacher-student friendships that felt vaguely inappropriate...idk I'm not here for that. Otherwise, it was a sweet, cute little book that eased my hangover from finishing On the Come Up

Will admit that I got a tad bored towards the end, but I accredit that to my panic about finishing it on time amidst MUCH more homework to be done :(

Also sad that Bilbo is the only character with depth.

Still felt like a warm hug (but only when I was less stressed) and I can't imagine giving this piece of joy anything less than 4 stars

love love love

Time to lament the fact that we are not reading the next two books in my class :( I missed this series and I loved it so much more the second time ahhhhh

Well.

Thanks for the emotions. Totally didn't need them.

That was...really good!! It wasn't as dark as I thought it would be, tbh, which surprised me actually! But it was definitely as confusing as I anticipated...

Also Darlington is my husband and Dawes is my wife, no one say a thing.

Honestly, the ending was the best part, but this kinda fell flat in the other parts...I just...don't completely see the hype still :(

An Improvement.

But I think one of the main issues here is that so much time is covered so quickly and we really don't see in the character's heads, mostly just snippets of scenes. So I think I'm having a hard time feeling attached.
