Beautiful Immersive Story
Found this book particularly easy to dive into, I think due to the use of present tense. It made the story more immersive as you felt add though you were experiencing it alongside the characters. Some beautiful description and an interesting, unusual story.

this was intersting but not my favorite.. the writing was good but the character was a bit annoying in the way he thought and the ending felt rushed.. like no reunion scene or anything... parents still screwed up.. it just felt wrong in some ways. overall not bad though
  
Very good story. I enjoyed the characters and the complex emotions involved. The writing as always was amazing. The entire story and characters make me laugh, smile, sad, and happy all during one story. I loved it all and am so glad I was able to review it

Holy hell!!! I absolutely loved this book. There were so many inspirational aspects of it telling people to stand up for what they believe in. I want more of the story. A perfect end to an amazing series. Thank you Tahereh Mafi for writing such an amazing series.
  
When the town drunk gets murdered, it distracts from Jake's holiday with her family. The characters are shallow and the writing style was distracting on this one.

An addictive read! The storyline grabbed me straight away. This psychological thriller is full of twists and turns. One minute you feel sorry for one of the characters, the next you are left wondering! A great mix of characters some you like and some you hate. Great writing.
  
Liked the stories, HATED the writing style .....I'd put it down for weeks and not read....rarely do I do that with a book, I can usually finish a short book like this within a day or two and it took MONTHS to finish.... stories were great though

It was good, likeable character. Not as good as The Martian. Little disappointed, but it was good, taken with a grain of salt knowing it's a man writing from a woman's perspective and a few remarks didn't seem like a part of the main character, more the author.

I loved Kick-Ass and wondered whether this sequel would be as good. I wasn't disappointed! All the quirk and humour was present and the new superhero characters were brilliant, as was the supervillain. Where else would you get supervillain names like Genghis Carnage and Mother Russia? Brilliant writing.
