The last few chapters really made me want to give this 4 stars. Kudos to Yarros for going there! But I had to take half a star off for the absolute slog the middle was. So much repetitive nonsense where Ella is a hypocritical liar who hates liars and Beckett wrongly blames himself for everything so much he actually messes things up. Everything was a lot better when the romance was the romance and the drama was the drama. When the drama is the romance, things get tired and I take off points. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would halfway through!
