okay. i finally finished this book. it really wasn’t that long of a read, but it took a while because i would never be itching to read this. before u say anything, i want to acknowledge the passion behind this book. i know that all authors have passion, but this author wrote this after losing a great friend of hers. that doesn’t mean i can’t criticize this book, though.

for one, and my biggest issue - this author proudly says that she “doesn’t use autocorrect” and it’s very apparent. for a professional, published book, i have never seen this many spelling errors and punctuation errors. next, and i’m gonna be incredibly honest here, this feels like something i would dream to write of in middle school. maybe i’m above the age demographic, i’m 17! maybe it is for middle school ages, but the dark gruesome matter has me thinking otherwise. there’s just too many books similar to this, with the idea of fairy tales and high school girls.

this book wasn’t terrible, but i would never recommend it to someone of my age. it was an okay read, and that’s all. i don’t think it’s something i’ll keep on my bookshelves for long, though.
