The whole showing respect thing was pretty nauseating. 

This man is a huge red flag! He beats a man so badly that two security guards could barely hold him off simply because he pushes him into his girlfriend. And what? We're just supposed to look past that because he's religious? Get out now girl!

This was so intense and beautiful and I loved it!

C.J. Bloom and her accent make for a delicious audiobook.

Right when those heart shaped glasses were explained I knew this would be a soul crusser. And disturbingly it made me a little giddy.

I've come back to change my review and rating. There are 5 books listed in this series however book 4 is 20 years later meaning this is the last book in the original trilogy. And as a final book it was just terrible! There were three main conflicts throughout this series and only one was resolved by the end of this book. There was no real ending when it came to came to either rebel group or improving this dystopian society. It was unbelievably unsatisfying! 


America is so wishy washy and I can't stand her! She loves maxim, no she loves aspen, she wants to be princess, no she can't do what's required. Make up your mind girl!

That was the most unromantic proposal! 

Honestly I was about to stop reading this so I looked at goodreads to read some reviews. I kept reading because this book was first published in the 80s and I kept that in mind when I read something weird out dated.

I enjoyed this for the most part. Too much sexy time for my liking. 

This was a great novella. If it were a full length novel it would have suffered from all kind of doubts and miscommunication and family drama. But because it was a novella it was fun and easy, sexy and to the point.

I loved the narration on this audiobook, but I don't know which voice belonged to which narrator. 

Before anything I feel that it's very important to say that it is never okay to ask a total stranger how they became disabled. Never.

This really seems like a female character written by a man. Honestly I was shocked that Dylan Newton is in fact a woman.

Bryce is always talking about her big boobs, spewing dirty jokes, talks about cars, knows her tools. 🙄 Gives off all the "not like other girls" vibes.

I fxound it pretty icky when the brothers made fun of transitioning.
