Holly cow… this book was just amazing. Reading the end of this book made me feel so sad and happy at the same time.

I was thinking what the ajghajkdghdasd happened? Wait, is it possible? Are human beings capable of doing so. and by so i mean, the whole concept of the novel. 

The writing was so pretty and flawless. Usually I hate books that are narrated by 2 or more girls because it is hard for me to distinguish them. But  it wasnt the same for this book. The two characters narrating were so unique. I loved them so much. Both of their love interest were interesting and I didnt know which team to be on. Picking teams was going to be pointless anyways...you will know why.

This book will keep you questioning whether all of this is real or not. Which part is real and which is made up or imagined. Personally, I thought everything was real...that both characters were real

Anyways, I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a fun read. Pick it up from a bookstore or a library.

This book was cute. So cute. It had a prince and possibly a fairy tale for 35 girls that were chosen based on different aspects to have one of them marry the prince.

I fell in love with Prince Maxon. He was a prince in every way. Gentle and nice and amazing. He respected all the girls and treated them equally and well. Although, it is obvious that he is interested in America Singer, he still gave her space and time to make up her heart. No one in his shoes, with such authorities, would do that. But he did because he is awesome.

For America Singer, she reminded me of Katniss. I don’t know if that is a good thing or not. America was an independent character, had her different plan. And wasn’t cheesy like the rest of the 34 girls. She was unique from all of them which well made me like her more.

In the next book, I hope to see more of the political problems that are going on. Information about the war and allies and all of that. Really excited for book 2.

I loved that book and I don’t even know why. Maybe because it was a retelling of Romeo and Juliet. No, I think because it was written from Rose's perspective. We all know who is rose. She is Romeo's first love.

There were some parts in this novel that didn’t feel realistic. There was rush in some parts, unexplained. But the romance in this book was cute and forced me into flipping the pages quickly.

Also the writing style was so amazing. It kept on pulling me deeper and deeper into the book. There were deep messages and I enjoyed reading between the lines.

In addition to that, I liked Rose's friends. They were shallow (for most of the time) but everyone has a problem and they werent excluded for that. Each one of them had their own character and their problems were a reflection of who they are.

In total, I really liked this book. Totally recommend it.
