extremely underwhelming.
could not tell the characters apart from one another and they all had no personality.
Spoilers ahead but not really, just vague stuff about the plot twist
the plot twist wasn't predictable, I didn't guess who it was but I would've rather it had been because when it was revealed who did it.. so underwhelming.
It could've of been any other person and it would've been fine but really? boring.
reread: so last time i was sick and didn't remember a single thing so i read it again and yeah it was average, i will read the second book and maybe watch the show? Better than the grisha trilogy lol

no rating because my brain didn't take anything in, I restarted the book 3 times and still nothing. I finished it but couldn't remember a thing.
I'll re-read this later in the year and give it a rating then!
it has a nice writing style though!
it was entertaining but I just cant handle the main character.
She left kittens in a car to go party.
She is “not like other girls”
She picked a fight with a toddler.
She throws herself into insanely dangerous situations and gets mad at people who worried for her.
Yeah, she was going through grief and probably wasn't thinking but it just happened way too often.
The other characters had so much personality while the main character was so bland, how??!??
Ok i re-read it and i'm bumping it up to a 5 star from my previous 3 star rating... so much emotion and love in so few words and it makes me want to buy all the work from the author

I might re-read this soon to understand it better. It fit so much emotion in 55 pages and yeah, would love to come back to this soon!
Re-read: Better than the first read but still boring. Also Jonathan swift is a big fat liar... he really tried to convince us that he accidentally rode a dogs back for 200 yards and used it's tail as a bridle... sure Jono

this book is only 52 pages long but I wanted to DNF so bad. I reeeeally didn't like this
This is my 3rd re-read and the story gets more gross and disturbing every time. I wanted to read this again bc I wanted to read a really sad book and this is one of the most heartbreaking books ever.
But it does have its bad side. I can't read this without wanting to vomit. I can't support maya and lochans relationship, and I never would in real life. their relationship makes me want to vomit.
If you want to read this, yes it will be sad but be prepared to cringe and dry retch a lot!
I'm in looooove with this book.
it's based slightly on a true story which sends shivers up my spine. I can't imagine being forced to be a food taster, not knowing that the meal in front of you could be your last.
This book was so fast paced and it would take 3 hours max to finish. It took me 3 days because everytime I picked up the book life's responsibilities called so that sucked but I'm glad I took 3 days to read it because savouring this book was worth it!
Loveddddd it!
I would love to read about eleanors life, no matter how “boring” it is, for hours and hours.
I liked the plot twist and I liked the plot but I just reaaaally liked Eleanor as a character and she kinda reminded me of Lou from Me Before You, a character I would also love to read about for hours!
Charlotte bronte did warn at the start that the beginning of the book was boring..and it was but she did warn me so can I be mad about it?
I really enjoyed the chapters where Caroline and Shirley were together. All the other chapters were a hit or miss.
The last 100 pages were a bit boring to me, if they weren't then this book would be a 4 star :)
A book that's an easy mood booster!
It made me snort and had me hiding my laugh in public, definitely worth the $24 I spent on this book.
It would be 5 stars but his jokes in the 00s and teens were too... “I'm old and don't understand young people things” and it got repetitive and i didn't like it lol
