My first book of the year and I hated it. I hated the writing style and I hated the plot. I kept reading because so many people wrote about their love for the plot twist at the end, so I was holding out hope that this book was going to turn around, but it never did. Instead, it just got more confusing.
The reason why I disliked this book so much was that I didn't care about the main character. I was interested in the fact that he woke up in this world without any memories of why or how he got there, but the rules were just so confusing to me. I felt like he never really tried to face himself in another body. My review is coming 8 months later, so the details are a bit foggy, but I don't recall him *really* trying. He just took everything at face value.
Also, the ending really upset me. I just want to say, if someone murdered a family member of yours, you are under no obligation to forgive that person. You aren't a better person for forgiving them. You are a person, and this other took away someone you loved.
In addition, the fact this was all a prison just threw me off. What kind of prison is this? With no memories, you aren't really repenting for your past crimes. You are just confused and lost. Is she even sorry for what she did? Or has she been fooled into thinking that she is sorry because of her lack of memories of the event? Nothing seems sincere. It alls seems force because so much was taken away. She can't be sorry for something she has no memory of.
This book was a great title for a poorly written novel. How disappointing.

Charming book. I can't say it's anything special, but it's just a cute little read if you want a YA romance.
If you like Welcome to Nightvale, you'll love this book! It is so creepy and weird, and I loved every moment. It was so funny too! I can't wait to read more of this series!
More like 3.5. I really LOVED the world-building and the characters and the magic! But I wanted to be OBSESSED with this book, and really I just enjoyed it. I wasn't as drawn into the story as much as I wanted.
WOW! What a great book! I was honestly totally in SHOCK from the twist. I didn't see it coming at all! I also love how this story was told. It was so unique and drew me in. Basically, I'm gonna need more books from this author YESTERDAY!
(3.5 stars) I really liked this book, but I can't stress this enough, this was NOT a thriller. It's about these kids reconnecting after escaping a cult. Still very good, and now I'm interested in more books like it, but it was NOT a thriller, so that was very disappointing.
I am so biased! I love this author so much and all her Jewish characters. This book is so charming and just warmed my heart. As always, I loved the main character and how Solomon writes. Just love her books so much!
What a creepy book! If you are looking for a good horror book, then look no further! I was slightly disappointed in the end, but only a little. The rest of the book was wonderfully scary and hard to put down.
It's a really good book though with great romance and great characters. I really loved the two main characters and their romance. They just made me so happy. The abuse was a lot for me though.
Honestly? Great book with a great mystery, but I had such a hard time believing someone like the main character could exist. It just felt so farfetched. Still, I loved her and thought she was so cool.
