I really didn’t want to like this book. Unfortunately, I do.
HOWEVER, I don’t really grasp what the message was here…it kind of seemed very “stick with your own kind”? Maybe “embrace who you are”? I’m not sure.
Very Twilight-esque and not just because of the whole werewolf thing. Just is very “sleepy town, mysterious killings, star-crossed lovers.”Except instead of having the main character end up with someone who’s like…technically her age, she ends up with someone who is an actual, full-fledged adult. As a 25 year old, I couldn’t imagine being with someone still in HIGH SCHOOL .
Basically, kind of problematic, doesn’t hold up, very much a guilty pleasure sort of novel. Better written than Twilight but still with all the questionable shit you love!
