This one star rating has nothing to do with writing or the plot itself of this book. This just, wasn't it for me.

I know I will 100% give the second book in this series a try (and probably other works by this author) because I was more invested in the other characters than the main plot here. I liked the writing, I liked the concept, I just did not like Annie, she was immature and frustrating, and because of that I was really annoyed that this entire story took place in her head. She ruined the book for me. I am a little disappointed but still relatively optimistic that I'll like the next one because Chloe and Nick were shining stars in this book. And I think I would even be okay with references to Annie and Drew I just could do without Annie's logic.

Beautiful art, incredible world building and a plot that kept me on my toes!

I think this book had a lot of great qualities and had the potential to be something really great but it really just left me wanting more.

This book dragged a lot for me but all of the characters I loved had really nice story lines and pretty satisfying endings so three stars for them and none for the long drawn out plot that I literally walked away from...like 5 times before deciding to finish this book.

What I expected: A cute, sweet, romantic, fairy-tale romance style telling of Kate and William.

What I got: Not really that. The romance was there, the cute was there sometimes, but this wasn't sweet, and it wasn't a fairy-tale. It was almost more like a reality tv show version of the Kate and William story. I have some mixed feeling bc of what my expectations were, but ultimately I did enjoy this.

Definitely worth giving a shot, but probably not for everyone.
