I took four days to read it because I kept having to take breaks due to how miserable and just shit it was. Some of the quotes in this book are cute, but that’s it. The characters are flat and shallow, there’s no chemistry between any of them, I hate love triangles, and words can’t even begin to describe how much I detest the cheating trope. I don’t like Conrad or Jeremiah. Conrad is boring and kind of an asshole, I only liked him when I was reading his stupid fucking letters at the end of the book and he was being (kind of) nice. He did literally two nice things for Belly in the entirety of this series and suddenly he’s some sort of perfect bachelor? He’s a dick! All college boys are dicks! ESPECIALLY if they’re in frat houses, which brings me to Jeremiah. What a cunt. I actually was on the verge of throwing up when I found out what he did. It was so un-Jeremiah-like that I actually had to close the book and walk away. And he never grew out of his stupid fucking frat boy phase. And the fact that he had a girlfriend by the end of the book? Was it the bitch from Cabo? Love triangle rejects are supposed to grovel and mope for the rest of time. That’s how it fucking goes. It’s been established that Jeremiah is a man whore, but damn. Way to prove my point. Belly was okay. I thought she made some dumbass decisions sometimes, but mostly I liked her and her thought process� even though her character was flat and basically lifeless. But that’s just how the book is written. Almost everything is mundane and renders you incapable of developing any attachment to it. The only character I liked is Taylor. She reminds me of Caroline from TVD. She’s so cute, and really just a reliable character to lean back on and enjoy scenes with when everything else in the novel is in chaos. This book was shit, overall. Written like a fanfic with the execution of somebody who has never felt deep emotions in their life. Glad to be finally done with this fucking series. Whole thing felt like a filler episode!...more

ok. biggest thought to start us off; this book was strongly , unapologetically sexist really , *really* often. mz has a track record of calling women ok. biggest thought to start us off; this book was strongly , unapologetically sexist really , *really* often. mz has a track record of calling women “whores� and “sluts,� but i have never seen it this bad before. this book was APPALLING. it’s hard to get into a romance when the characters (which are 95% male might i add) are calling women sluts and whores and prositutes and hookers every ten pages and making “working the corner� jokes when the main character wears a short dress. it’s hard to get into a romance when the mc’s brother is calling her a greedy prostitute and a whore like it’s the equivalent of “idiot.� oh my god, don’t even get me started on the weird standards the characters held on men. mason going on a rant about how much of a “girl� gordo was just because he cried during a movie? are you fucking kidding me? and then him telling the main character he’s “glad [she] didn’t grow up to be a slut.� LOUD SILENCE. on top of that all the weird passing jokes about transgender people� seriously fucked up. and the love interest letting the mc eat food but only if it “goes to [her] ass� ????? WHAT THE FUCK??? every character in this book was an asshole. like such a big , raging , aggravating dickhead to the point where i was screaming into my pillow. they’re literally all sexist and the main character is clearly battling with some internal misogyny that she doesn’t care enough to address because apparently it’s fine to call random women sluts and prostitutes and hookers just because they blinked in the direction of your crush, or their clothes are revealing. this book made me want to cry. nobody in this piece of crap literature respects women or anybody at all, quite frankly. transgender people, disabled people, you name it and mariana fucking zapata has made fun of them! please, nobody waste their time reading this book unless you want to be pissed off. sure, sometimes the characters were funny when they weren’t slut shaming someone or objectifying a woman , and sure the end of the book had cute quotes , but the rest of it was an immediate one star. i literally cannot morally bring myself to rate this above one star because it’s that bad. worst 400 page experience of my life and im glad i didnt pay a penny for it because mariana zapata does not deserve anything ...more
this book SUCKED !!!! MY GOD. MY ACTUAL GODS. ok so let’s start with the point that stuck out to me the most : - nico literally did not get good endingthis book SUCKED !!!! MY GOD. MY ACTUAL GODS. ok so let’s start with the point that stuck out to me the most : - nico literally did not get good ending. years of trauma and suffering � literally every other character got a good ending (in this series at least WINK WINK) and what did he get? a new crush? are you fucking kidding me? i was expecting him to at least be granted a sweet sweet well deserved moment with his inner child where he played mythomagic or something but noooo! ofc not! his inner child is just dead forever! bye bye “that’s so cool,� pirate-fascinated nico! this kid is YOUNGER THAN ME. 14. oh i am fully sickened. not even in the good way like i cannot physically stand how dirty they did my beloved nico di angelo. - second of all, leocalypso ending? wtf r u talking abt they sailed off into the sunset on festus BITCH TO WHERE? like i know where because i spoiled the entire plot of the trials of apollo for myself but like R U FUCKIN KIDDING ME YOURE GONNA MAKE ME READ AN ENTIRE OTHER BOOK SERIES FOR THAT ...more
christ almighty .. where do i even start? first of all, i hate the way the author writes about women. there were far, far too many sexual references anchrist almighty .. where do i even start? first of all, i hate the way the author writes about women. there were far, far too many sexual references and graphic descriptions that were completely unnecessary in a horror/thriller book. the way he spoke about women was gross and repulsive. this books been sitting on my shelf for a good while and i regret reading it. seriously disturbing and the plot is ?? so bad ?? how are you going to tell me two characters fall in love after knowing each other for MAYBE two hours. their development was written horribly. i’m glad that cordelia’s dad is dead because seriously that guy was a pervert. way too invested in his daughters sex life. absolutely disgusting.
never reading from this author again unless i become a masochist at some point in my life. ...more
