I wanted to rate this book 5 stars because it was just SO GOOD but I have a feeling when I read a 5 star book and I just didn't get that feeling with this one. (That's how I felt with AGGGTM as well but honestly I probably would've given it 5 stars if I read it faster. It took me a while because I was in a slump BUT THATS BESIDES THE POINT.) OBVIOUSLY I LIKE THIS SERIES ENOUGH TO CONTINUE ON WITH IT AFTER AGGGTM, it's so funny because I said I'd never read the other 2 books after that one & here I am☠️ Literally just started GGBB on a whim because my library had a copy and I'm glad I did. And I'm not a reads a series kinda guy. I'm surprised with myself to say the least. These books are just very well written I don't think I could've helped myself. I enjoyed this book and the first one no doubt about it but for very different reasons — My actual rating is 4.75
Wasn't as scary as I was hoping considering the Stephen King blurb, but all in all I really enjoyed this book. There were about 4-5 scenes that really unnerved me & grossed me out and I loved it. I think I like the concept of this book more than the delivery but I'm still here for it. Although I really could've gone without the blog excerpts. They were boring to me & I found myself skimming over them some. But all that to say, I don't think I'm the biggest fan of the demon possession/exorcism trope
I read this SOLEY for my babies Simon & Bram, god I've missed them.
I haven't read Leah on the offbeat yet so I was kinda confused on the whole Leah & Abby being together thing but whatever—this universe is one of my favorites ever & Love, Simon is such a comfort movie. Brb gonna rewatch it for the thousandth time rn.
Riley Sager books are just like a comforting hug for me, one of my favorite authors of all time! I'm slowly but surely making my way through his entire collection of books he has published thus far.
This book was a fun ride, slightly reminiscent of the movie fractured of you've ever seen it ;)
(Gave that movie 5 stars on Letterboxd btw, please watch it if you haven't seen it, PLEASE i beg, it's so good.)
I have to stop reading disgustingly dark books that I find on random blogs online, they're doing something fucked up to my brain
I really enjoyed the first 75% of this book, mainly because of the writing style, but the last 25% was kinda lost on me so idk... also the ending wasn't my favorite...
Shrug
I wish the book was longer so that there was more time for certain themes to be better developed. The most important aspects of the book—Finn's amnesia for example—weren't thoroughly explored enough in my opinion. There was a lot happening and I was left with some loose ends & questions unanswered. Felt a little rushed, especially the relationship, but it was super cute regardless, a fun quick read was just what I needed
