 Every few years, I reread this series because I forget if I i liked it or didn't. This is going to be a copy/paste review for all books but I'll try to keep it as spoiler-free as possible. 

All in all, it's a series that has its fault but still has some solid strengths. It diverts from usual YAs (of the time) and had heart. It's easy to get lost in things that don't work or twists that are narratively almost impossible to work but if you leave that aside, the pacing is as solid as it gets. Things actively happen in four books, scenery changes, relationships evolve, things aren't  stuck for too long. Characters have emotions that feel real and true. These will get even a few tears out of you. 

 Oh dear. I don't want to be judgemental but I'm just surprised this gets so many recs and good ratings on goodreads. Even when I just want something easy and sexy, I do not go for this. The insta everything is so ridiculous, when you pile on the ridiculous amount of trauma both characters have and how they seem to think that they'll fix each other. But hey, they want to try to change who they are after meeting three times and screwing once so you know...There are not enough warning signs for this story. I can't even really talk about the writing. Since it all feels so stupid to me, I'd say the writing or at least, the storytelling needed a hell of a lot more work. Hard pass on the other books.
