DEEP BREATH. Ok- so of course I read this very fast because it was kind of like a soap opera- you just can’t look away, but I think it ended pretty abruptly. She has been back and forth over these two guys for the entire series so far and she and the one she thinks she wants fight nearly non-stop and then all of a sudden it all changes and then its over. Listen- this was fine. I’m under no misconceptions about what this book is, but it IS a soap opera. So, ya know, buckle up.

Because things start wrapping up. Literally all of the storylines, why America chooses eho she chooses, who the other option chooses what he chooses. What happened to her friends. Somebody gets caught, somebody gets shot. True love is tested. All that. I liked this one a little less than the first too because I feel like it was an unnecessary novel. A cash grab when everything could have been wrapped up in the last book. The book was still ok to me. We get to meet the villains and figure out if they are or are not villains. Then the story is wrapped and happily ever afters are had. I'm just not so into this one. Like yes, she pulled in a couple big moments but then I feel like she just added them for shock value and then it's not really touched on again. I don't know. This one just didn't hit like the last two for me. It's always those third books that lose their minds. Divergent, Hunger Games, Twilight. Albeit reversed FOR ME in the third one. Its my favorite. Beware the third book...or be pleasantly surprised! ℝ𝕠π•ͺ𝕒𝕝 β„π•–π•’π••π•šπ•Ÿπ•˜ π˜‘π˜’π˜Ί π˜”π˜’π˜Ί π˜–π˜Άπ˜΅
