** spoiler alert ** Update:
1.5/5
I read the extra chapter that was released and in my opinion I don’t think it was a good idea to publish that.
I felt kind of exasperated with the story and the characters while I was reading the book but it was bearable because at least they were multifaceted and it made sense in the long run, but this epilogue diluted the characters down to one or maybe two characteristics, and it felt like I was reading the writing of a middleschooler who has no experience in writing characters and internal monologues. It made me hate every character (apart from verity who I hated from the beginning anyway), and added only negative unresolved material to the book in my honest opinion.
This extra chapter lost it a star, I’m sorry.
2.5/5
I’m not easy to surprise, plot-twist wise, and sadly I did see this books’ plot-twist a while away, but nonetheless I did enjoy the writing, the characters and the story, I read it in one go, so it was all in all an okay book, I just don’t think it lives up to all the hype, that’s all.
I can say this though, at the end of the book there’s an event that makes talking about the book with others interesting, because you usually tend to take one of the two sides, so discussing why you think you’re team A or team B is quite fun!
