Guys, I had a really good time reading this one. I'm way out of the intended demographic, but color me pleasantly surprised that this was leaps and bounds above Twilight, although I'm not here to hate on those books. As far as YA books go, this one featured one of my favorite platonic female friendships, and I'm thrilled for the portrayal of girls supporting girls as a way to build up lady power, instead of every female vying for attention in meaningless competition. Part of me wants to write a longer review, but a greater part of me just wants to bask in how much I adored this and move on to the next installment. <3
Also, the movie sucked. But I am so excited to watch the new show!

I'm looking forward to seeing how it all turns out!

I absolutely hated the movie. I still cringe thinking about it.

I just finished and completely agree. I loved this! The movie was super cringeworthy thought. lol

Thank you so much! I've noticed some of those points between Dimitri and Rose as well, but honestly, I love it. I'm excited to see how the series progresses!

I couldn't agree more, Kim! I've always had a soft spot for YA books of any kind, perhaps because that is when I truly discovered my deep love of reading during that time of life.
