The writing style of this really rubbed me up the wrong way. I am so disappointed- it sounded great on paper but unfortunately didn’t fulfill me in any way.
I read every single word of this book. You know what stuck out to me the most? The words "lice" and "insect." It's like after I read those two words, I just started itching and itching.

Anyways, I'm not going to rate this book, mainly because my main takeaway is that I am now itchy. I will reread it sometime

I really loved this book even with the slow start because when it does start there is never a dull moment and you really root for the characters. I loved the characters so much they were so well fleshed out I loved Juliette and Roma most of all you can see how much they still love each other even with how things turned out between them. What I really like about both Juliette and Roma are one is headstrong and does things the way she wants them to be done while the other is very self sacrificing

none of these people are interesting enough for me to keep going. juliette is a wannabe badass with a „hey LOOK AT ME“ attitude and roma is … just roma. the story about how people end themselves and the possibility of insects doing it is fascinating but unfortunately thus far (70 pages in) is not the main plot. oh well. ...more
