Summary

Your first love isn’t the first person you give your heart to—it’s the first one who breaks it。

School is almost out for Audrey， but the panic attacks are just beginning。 Because Audrey told a lie and now her classmate， Ana， is dead。 Just as her world begins to spin out of control， Audrey meets the enigmatic Rad—the boy who could turn it all around。 But will their ill-timed romance drive her closer to the edge？

Delila Amal ，

Huge fan of her poetry books but not really for this :/。

Mirai Amor ，

Story is dragging， some scenes are too long/irrelevant。 I am disappointed。

Abdullah Al Kindi ，

Cutsie teenage romance， didn’t stand out。

Hartzel Savior ，

This was a really disappointing book。 There was a lack of substance to it。 I forced myself to finish it just because I hate not finishing things。 I was really hoping for a good book， the cover was lovely and I adored the author but this was not it。

1/5 ⭐️ - thats being generous honestly。

DNF because genuinely what。 the。 fuck

Mikalah Martindale ，

Probably one of the most intricately layered books I have ever read。 There are so many twists and turns in the book， which led me buried in the book for hours on end。 I finished it in 2 nights - it was just that good。

Jak se jen vyjádřit k téhle knížce？ Ta anotace zní dokonale a strašně jsem se těšila， protože se z příběhu dalo vytěžit tolik。 Už někdy ve druhé kapitole se objevilo menší klišé， ale to mi nevadilo。 Jenže postupně klišé přibývala a začali jste více poznávat postavy。 Možná bych byla šťastnější， kdybych je nepoznala， protože ty dvě， které jako jediné byly sympatické autorka zničila。 Od původní zápletky， nakousnuté v první kapitole， se úplně upustilo a objeví se až někdy u konce， kde zároveň svitla Jak se jen vyjádřit k téhle knížce？ Ta anotace zní dokonale a strašně jsem se těšila， protože se z příběhu dalo vytěžit tolik。 Už někdy ve druhé kapitole se objevilo menší klišé， ale to mi nevadilo。 Jenže postupně klišé přibývala a začali jste více poznávat postavy。 Možná bych byla šťastnější， kdybych je nepoznala， protože ty dvě， které jako jediné byly sympatické autorka zničila。 Od původní zápletky， nakousnuté v první kapitole， se úplně upustilo a objeví se až někdy u konce， kde zároveň svitla špetka naděje。 Nový， nečekaný zvrat， hleděla jsem s otevřenou pusou。 Bohužel to， jak ho autorka vyřešila bylo hrozné。 Lepší， kdyby se to tam vůbec nedalo。 Asi vám ani nedokážu říct， co se mi na knize líbilo， snad jen první kapitola。 。。。more

This is probably the worst book i've ever read。 Congratulations！ I bought this in paperback with your poetry book and look how it turned out: a huge disappointment。 :/ Tbh I could write 10 pages long of how misleading this book is but why would I waste my time typing for this crap。 Don't write a novel if you're really not into it and do some research。 This is probably the worst book i've ever read。 Congratulations！ I bought this in paperback with your poetry book and look how it turned out: a huge disappointment。 :/ Tbh I could write 10 pages long of how misleading this book is but why would I waste my time typing for this crap。 Don't write a novel if you're really not into it and do some research。 。。。more

This book had me f***ed up。 I'm writing this review a year later。 My sister sent me the book and told me to give it a read and I went in blind。 I didn't even read the back。 I'm not sure what I thought it was about but nothing that happened I expected at all。 The ending has stuck with me even two years later。 Both of the main characters are extremely flawed。 If you struggle with characters that are not good people， this is not the book for you。 I would also recommend looking at the trigger warnin This book had me f***ed up。 I'm writing this review a year later。 My sister sent me the book and told me to give it a read and I went in blind。 I didn't even read the back。 I'm not sure what I thought it was about but nothing that happened I expected at all。 The ending has stuck with me even two years later。 Both of the main characters are extremely flawed。 If you struggle with characters that are not good people， this is not the book for you。 I would also recommend looking at the trigger warnings before picking this up as well。 I enjoyed the plot and enjoyed characters; Leav does a great job writing an interesting storyline that holds its own against other stories about young sad girls。 。。。more

I loved the beginning; I thought the writing was rich and colorful， but the pacing moved too fast， and I could hardly stand Audrey's character。 I barely made it to chapter 3。 I wanted to continue， but I'd rather use the time to read a more enjoyable tale。 I loved the beginning; I thought the writing was rich and colorful， but the pacing moved too fast， and I could hardly stand Audrey's character。 I barely made it to chapter 3。 I wanted to continue， but I'd rather use the time to read a more enjoyable tale。 。。。more

This book is sooo good。 I couldn’t put it down。 It was a little slow at the beginning but I fell in love with the characters and there was a bunch of huge plot twists through out the book。 Then ending left me a little mad but I’m still talking about the book to this day。

Eliza Howard ，

I set really low expectations for this book which worked in my favour。 While the themes explored were kind of intense and there were a lot of annoying character flaws， I was pleasantly surprised by how invested I was in the story。

ummm i read the first few pages and was like what in the wattpad is this- who allowed this to happen

AMAZINGSo many plot twist but had an equal amount of love but I definitely loved the ending seriously like perfect！

i liked the way lang leav wrote， full of emotions and metaphorically appealing。 however， i did not like the plot line of this story。 i'm stumped the lead's actions and personalities， i was turned off。 that's why i decided not to continue this book， maybe i'll give chance to other stand alone novels of hers but this is unfortunately marked dnf。 i liked the way lang leav wrote， full of emotions and metaphorically appealing。 however， i did not like the plot line of this story。 i'm stumped the lead's actions and personalities， i was turned off。 that's why i decided not to continue this book， maybe i'll give chance to other stand alone novels of hers but this is unfortunately marked dnf。 。。。more
