- the concept

» disliked «
- the writing style is just not for me, with the Irish/English accent (in the audiobook) and the phrases/dialect, it just takes me out of the story.
- characters are so annoying and stupid

» overall «
there was several times in this book where i was genuinely angry and hated this book and the characters. my teeth have never suffered more.

so yea, Ciara Smyth is not for me

- i appreciate that Christina and Lauren writes books with real couples with real obstacles

» disliked «
- miscommunication
- "cheating"

» overall «
i wouldn't have minded if they didn't end up togther. a lot of Christina Lauren books i've read can all be categorized under the "i don't care if they end up together" or "i don't want them to end up together" umbrellas. and that's kinda not what you want with romance books.

» disliked «
- MC can't solve her own problems, but they literally weren't that hard of problems?
- audiobook narrator has an accent

might actually be 2 stars

- the writing style is just so easy to consume

» disliked «
- Misha being a "bad boy" was so cringe. like bro you chose not to life with your father and you're really not that badass
- Ryen being a bitchy mean girl, but really is a "nice girl" on the inside, cliche
- the hints about why Misha became Masen were subtle, like too subtle. there really wasn't much there.
- also, i'm genuinely confused as to why

Misha's mother doesn't care about her old family. not only that, but why did she take the watch if she doesn't care about them

?

- slice-of-life style, in that this entire book focuses around Dean's discovers of who he is and wants to be. there really is no plot outside of that.
- no likeable characters
- very unmemorable

- like a lot of other anthologies, underdeveloped

» overall «
i didn't realize this was middle grade when i started, but halfway through i checked and found out it was. i think my initial impression of the book would've been better if i had prepared myself for a MG book, but nonetheless this wasn't a enjoyable book for me, regardless of how poorly i prepared my mindset for reading this book
