4.5

overall, i thought jude was a super cool and badass main character, and i also loved cardans character. i liked seeing the progression of their feelings for eachother but i also like where they’re at towards the end of the story. i’m loving the suspense aspect of that. besides them, i loved the detail in this story and how i could really visualize most of the scenes. i do have to say that i’m not entirely invested in the political lore, and some of it was predictable but the surprise change of plans at the end really threw me for a loop and i loved it

4.0

this book took me forever to read but i still thoroughly enjoyed it. i loved addie’s perseverance, even though it was mostly to spite luc, still she held out longer than i would’ve. i loved henry too, the end was devastating, but i believe it was the right choice in some way. i wish we had gotten more of what ended up happening with addie and luc at the end though

 this book was just okay. i wasn’t super into the plot here but towards the end it definitely got way more interesting. i mean like i’m on the edge of my seat rn, but unfortunately i have to wait until the next book comes out. anyways, this book made me very sad. graysons whole inner monologue destroyed me, he deserves the world. and jameson doubting himself for a whole there also made me sad.

this book was crazy. it was good but it also made me SO MAD. JUST SO SO MAD AND SAD. the ending was really fun and the whole plot was super awesome and well thought out. i just hated my life while reading this book because of the whole love triangle situation.
i was always always team grayson so when he started liking eve i got so jealous for avery. i also had a feeling that eve was horrible the whole time and im glad i was right about it. seriously though i’m so angry that avery and grayson didn’t end up getting together. but the way barnes wrote jameson made me happy that she chose him. personally, i prefer grayson though. /spoiler>

this book was good. i really enjoyed the whole plot but honestly i was so distracted by the romance. lets just say that one of her options i really liked, and i was very disappointed at the end bc i liked him so much better. anyways, the rest of the book was entertaining and all of the toby stuff, especially towards the end, made me sad.

this book was really really good. I LOVED ALL OF THE HAWTHORNE BOYS SM AND I LOVED HOW DIFFERENT THEY ALL ARE. but also the ending was lowkey disappointing but it’s fine i still loved it. oh and i’m so mad that jameson is the one who gets to be with avery, grayson is so much better.

it wasn’t too bad, i had to read it for school. i loved seeing huck and jim’s friendship progress throughout the book. but also i found a lot of the characters annoying, which i know was twains goal to display some satire, but it was still annoying to read.
