did not like it
bookshelves: arc, contemporary, ya, 1-star, unpopular-opinion, reviewed, nope, diverse, authors-of-color

they say if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

anyway, that's my review.

i don't want to write a super long mean review of a book that's not out yet, but i'll think about it!

message 41: by ✨Galaxy✨ (new) - added it

✨Galaxy✨ Wait I wanna know why you didn’t like this I want a rant review


message 42: by _naouress (new) - added it

_naouress Honestly I was very excited for this book, it sounded promising and the cover is absolutely gorgeous and when I started reading it and crying from the first pages I was still hopeful but damn it is so sad that I don't think I can continue reading it. Although I love books that wrench my heart but this one is just too unbelievably sad that it's too much and I am not sure I would ever go and finish reading it. Would love to read your review why you didn't like it though!

kind of the opposite - one reason i didn't like it was i never connected with it! emotionally or otherwise. it does seem sad for the purpose of being sad to me


Shannara Bahahaha!!! This review is awesome!!!!


Rianna Christina is there something wrong with the book?

It’s just terribly disappointing and the main character is the worst!! Smh… but that’s just my opinion. 🤷🏻‍♀️

(damn I worked hard on that)
I love your rants, and a 1-star (not even 1.5!) means a rant


Rianna Christina @shannara (Idk how to @/ you ) but damn I am really excited to read the book hoping it would be something great cause of the hype and some of these reviews make me think otherwise


Farah Ali I was so disappointed
