okay for real, this book was pretty lackluster (imo) and felt like it was missing something. it was reme being emo over jude and cardan for 300 pages
okay for real, this book was pretty lackluster (imo) and felt like it was missing something. it was really fast-paced and engaging and i enjoyed it for the most part, but idk it all felt rushed and incomplete in comparison to the previous books :/
but im also really sad bc this world and the characters are done :(
i just siiiiiiiiiigggghhhhhh didn't care much for this book
i will mention that i never watched 'buffy the vampire slayer' as a kid, so i wasnt channeli just siiiiiiiiiigggghhhhhh didn't care much for this book
i will mention that i never watched 'buffy the vampire slayer' as a kid, so i wasnt channeling any nostalgia soooo, maybe if you're a fan of the show things will turn out more positive?? here's to hoping
for me, there was something so irritating about the main character. right from the start, she keeps comparing herself to her sister and complaining about how different she is and whining about her mommy/daddy issues
and i really didn't care

the plot was alright, but the characters felt so juvenile. the attempts at humour fell flat for me and i wasn't EVEN hyped about the squad??? that's so not me omg. the twists didn't faze me and i just think i had a difficult time connecting with the slow writing.
eh.

this book is the GOOD kind of dramatic trash that keeps you going, honestly this was a ride and i was here for it
pros - ridiculously dramatic richthis book is the GOOD kind of dramatic trash that keeps you going, honestly this was a ride and i was here for it
pros - ridiculously dramatic rich asian families - i'm not kidding, the book begins with this wealthy asian family BUYING an entire hotel bc the front desk clerk is racist and won't give them a room - they BOUGHT the ENTIRE HOTEL and then fired the clerk so fast i'm - that's the kind of Petty we're dealing with (i love it) - i love astrid so much omg give my girl the life she deserves (we better get freaking more of her) - i also love rachel - the story is so rich with asian (especially Singaporean) culture, language, and traditions - the characters are all so unique and fleshed out - it's crazy entertaining with all the drama
cons - there are SO MANY POINT OF VIEWS and CHARACTERS and BACK STORIES i mixed them up so frequently idk who's who at this point - look, my favourite couple is CLEARLY nick and rachel, but nick springing his WHOLE family and their crazies on rachel without preparing her beforehand is Big Yikes - the ending was Weak. definitely could have been a liiiiitle more conclusive rather than just throwing a bunch of facts at us and being like 'lol do what you want with this info'
this was really fun and now i need to watch the movie and get the next book
