The tension, the conflict. Sometimes I just wanted to shake Jude, she needed to just to relax. She put all this weight on her own shoulders. That kind of didn’t need to be their. I can see why she felt the way she did but goodness girl, you need a massage and some sleep.
She had everything under control but she was tightly pulled in a hundred different ways that she could see what was right in front of her which made the ending so much more heartbreaking. Because she was finally starting to relax, she was finally starting to believe and Carden just stabbed her in the back. I’m honestly glad I have the whole series because I couldn't have sat with that ending. I just instantly picked up the next book.

This is the second time I have read this, I love it. I need to get my hands on the whole series. The heartbreak, the betrayal, it's all so exciting and I need more. I need to know what happens next. If you haven't read this. You should.

First of all, this book is messed up. Like really messed it up, it’s completely messed with my head. I’m not sure what I believe if you’ve read the book you’ll completely understand what I’m talking about, but if you haven’t read this book honestly save yourself and don’t read it.
Don’t get me wrong it was a good read, and I think I would enjoy reading it again. I’d probably read it again to see if I can work out what I believe actually happened. But Colleen Hoov er is incredibly problematic, and again this book is messed up. I thought I’d read messed-up books but I think this one takes the cake. I kind of regret being so nosey for this one, which is the only reason I read it. But there are some things you shouldn’t just read. This is one of them
Did I enjoy it? Yes. It was exciting, and I got completely engrossed in the whole story. Would I recommend it to anyone? No, I would not encourage anyone to read this book, like ever.
The only reason I am even writing this review is that I have read the reviews on this book and everyone praises it, so I just wanted to share a review that doesn’t.

I can never say no to a Holly Bourne book, I’ve seen this one in my library a few times and this time I decided why not? I wasn’t completely prepared for some of the heartbreak I would feel at moments of the story. This is a very realistic portrayal of what high school is like. I do wish that we could have gotten a longer ending, it just felt slightly rushed to me. But other than that I loved it. You can never go wrong with Holly Bourne.

I love the Disney Twisted Tales, and one day I would love to own the whole series. I found this one in my local library so I had to borrow it. I really enjoyed it, it wasn’t as exciting and unpredictable as some of the other Twisted Tales I have read. But I still loved this version of the story were Rapunzel wasn’t just complacent in everything, she did take the bull by the horns at some points.
I also loved that she didn’t just all of sudden change, you can read her battling between what she has always known and what she is discovering is the truth. You feel sympathy for her as she comes to grips with this very drastic change in her life.
I just loved it, it was lovely. I can’t wait to own a copy some day.

I really just skimmed through most of this one just to finish the series, I just needed to know what happened but I had no interest in all the sappy emotional stuff. I am glad they kept the kid safe though, but other than that I have no thoughts on this book.

I only completed this book because I got a curious about how it would end, my curiosity was what pushed me to complete this whole series because I did not really enjoy it. I didn’t click with the characters, I didn’t really care what happened to them, and I didn’t find there ‘banter’ funny.
I found the whole thing just boring, but again I only finished it because I wanted to know who the mysterious bad guy was.
