This was BRILLIANT.

Read it il LITERALLY one sitting. Like, I stayed seated in the same spot for 6 hours to read this masterpiece.
This book was absolutely perfect. It has everything that I need to enjoy a book: a fearless, brazen (and also feminist) main character; a beautiful setting (I was ready for more development on that, but it's just the first book and I'm sure the juiciest stuff is going to come soon); a fast-paced plot, just enough to make it interesting but still leave room for character development (God ...more

Reread: April 18-24,2016-- So gloriously heart wrenching. So many amazing quotes. And a beautiful story.

READ IT AND HOPE YOU DON'T DIE OF IMPATIENCE FOR THE NEXT ONE!

I can understand why so many people love this book. I can officially join the club because IT WAS AMAZING AND GLORIOUS.
While I did find a few sections to be a little bland, for the most part the book captured my attention from beginning to end. I'm really glad I finally picked this up! ...more
