I loveeeeee this book!! It's amazing!!

I decided to read this series because a lot of book lovers recommended this series on TikTok. So, I wanted to see what the all fuss is about... and OMG they were right!

I read this book without stopping...it's so interesting and nothing like what I expected. I can't wait to see the movie and who will they choose to play the main characters.

When I read the description, that these girl's were a part of a competition, I did expect more chores and events they h ...more

One of my least favorite heroines. Vacuous, self-centered. I'm still going to read the next book, really want to find out what the rebels are after. And what's with Marly? Hmmm. Hopefully, the next book will answer some of the questions I have. Less 'The Bachelor' and more dystopian mystery, please. ...more

4,5 csillag

A nyilvánvaló problémáktól eltekintve, amikről már mindenki szót ejtett, aki valaha is olvasta a könyvet, ez egy élvezetes regény!

Shelves: young-adult-ya, series

I'm a bit conflicted about this story by Kiera Cass what I mean is I'm all for mashups but, Is it okay for a book to remind you of so many other books and tv shows?

However, I couldn't put it down and read it in one sitting and I'm looking forward to finishing the series.
Favorite Quote: “It’s hard to get a hug wrong.”

What I liked:
I couldn't put it down! I loved her writing and the characters. It's a great YA so I can understand why the author kept with a familiar genre.

What I didn't liked:
I ha ...more

** This review will be spoiler free **

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟 (3/5 stars).

Who knew I was ever gonna read this book. Well clearly not me😂 and the biggest surprise is that I actually enjoyed this book😂😂 I may have some very complicated feelings about this book.

Is this a good book? No it's not the best book I've ever read or like a really good book but it's also not a terrible book. It is just filled with stereotypical cliche things😂 and it is soooooo overly dramatic. Like everybody else has said this is b ...more
