I'm not an angsty romance girl but this one has me swooning. This is my third time reading it and I die reading about their teen romance every time. (view spoiler)[I just love Gansey and Blue's relationship. And poor Adam has my entire heart! (hide spoiler)]

She is so smart and tough but also is unafraid to be herself and share her vulnerabilities. I really love her character!

(view spoiler)[i didn't know that this was actually going to be a little bit of a mystery, especially on looking and finding out who's the killer of Noah, it was revealed to be Whelk but they really isn't any tense moments or any progress leading up to that conclusion, they just kind of picked a random character from the cast to be the killer and call it a day.

Ok so I'm 13% in now...

That was definitely a weird comment. Looks like this book is confusing to both of you so I'm a little nervous what ride I'm on, I kind of walked in blind without reading the synopsis, I just remembered the book was super popular. But I think you had said (view spoiler)[one of the characters is a ghost? and there have been three comments about Noah - one he said he's been dead for 7 years; Ashley said he's so COLD..., and then the boys said at the restaurant they won't make him eat anything... (hide spoiler)]

[Gohnar23]

Oh shit u read that???????? I think it was a spoiler 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 OMGGGGGGGGGG or was it? Was it obvious from the start that he was a ghost?

[MelanieJoy]

I think you were replying to something.

It wouldn't been obvious if I hadn't read your comment before reading the descriptions but it definitely throws it off. There's still stuff about him that seems alive - especially the fact that everyone can see him. So idk where this is going and how it gets there.

[Gohnar23]

oeahhh 😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬 itz cuz we didnt realize back then that there would be someone else to do this buddy read 😬😬😬😬 so like we just started talking and replying on spoiler categories 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 cuz we already both finished the book and is discussing all the confusing and out of place things that happened in this book, these things were all so random.

yeah... sorry 😭 But wow I hadn't realised there were these clues hidden toward the start (view spoiler)[ like how you said Ashley said he was 'cold' and that he didn't eat anything. I didn't notice these at all. (hide spoiler)]

[Gohnar23]

People's hands can still be called "cold" anyways watyoumean 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 , 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

But i think the point is that it wasn't really emphasized the in the story that (view spoiler)[he's going to be a ghost 😭😭, it was just like a random surprise "wow, cool plot twist bro". The moment it happened, who even asked for it? I mean at that point of the story Noah is just basically forgotten and then the story just made his character very important all of a sudden? (hide spoiler)]

[Gohnar23]

Likeeee, After 70% everything just because extremely messy and random, like you don't even know what's the point of everything and what's more, the things that is happening are supposedly very important aspects that has little to no connection to the already established things that you've read beforehand. It's like a completely different book
