I learned this from another person's review that I can write revies only for my future self.
I really liked the main characters of this book and their dynamic but parts of the plot didn't seem as well thought as other books I've read recently maybe because the main audience for this book are teenagers the same age of the main characters. But still if the main characters were in their early 20's the story wouldn't change much but it could deliver a better dynamic, more gruesome plot. But still the wlw romance was good enough for me to recommend it to other people. On the other hand the lack depth of side characters was a thorn in my eyes, the two main characters were so wellmade but the death of side characters didn't feel as devastating as it should've for the Reader. And the ending was too open, even though it's a series it felt like too many loose ends
