1) The writing = perfection.
I felt like I was there. I could hear the music when Ruby and Liam were dancing by the fire. I felt the cold from the AC in the hotel room. I honestly felt like I was there. And the writing is beautiful. And also funny.

Closing thoughts for this book, well Ruby is driving me mental but I still loved this overall despite the MC's frustrating actions towards the end.

No need to express my self kindly when it comes to this book.Because people...are you freaking kidding me?First of all I want to say that it took me a couple of weeks to finish this book because I didn't want to read those final chapters that were really heartbreaking...Obviously someone spoiled me.And then when I knew what was gonna happen,I was so angry and didn't want to finish the freaking book.
The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken is the first book in a kinda dystopian series that follows ...more
