Decent. I enjoyed it for the most part. I thought the author tended to lean towards being OTT every so often. But not bad enough to ruin the book for me. Unfortunately I stumbled across some spoilers from the last book of this series and it sort of turned me off from continuing to book 2. I don't like where the author ends up taking the story so this book is as far as I'll go in this series. ...more

I have such a hard time trying to think about rating this one, and I think a lot of it comes down to the formatting of *how* I was reading it but I can't remove one from the other.

Really lovely stream of consciousness prose. A bit predictable in parts, but excellent writing makes up for it. I'd love to read a book of poetry or a memoir by this author. ...more

Didn't finish. Really disappointed as I waited a really long time to check it out. Kudos to Kate Simses for her narration but just couldn't get through this. ...more

I loved, loved, loved this book. It's a little bit Hunger Games meets X-Men, so not the most original, but it totally worked for me. The writing is beautiful in a first person narrative, pulling the reader in emotionally from the beginning. I really loved the inner workings of Juliette's mind as her narrative effectively illustrated her dilema between insane and sane. A big fan of the love story, and I loved the age old idea that Juliette and Adam were meant for each other. I'm excited to discov ...more
