This was definitely my least favorite book of the series. The ending, in particular, was so stupid. Cassie's mom did not have to die at all. It felt so pointless. Reminded me of The Mist ending. Like all they had to do was wait a tiny bit, and she would have been fine. The part where Dean held Cassie and told her loved her was cute, though. It felt like 75% of the book was just a whole lot of nothing and then all this randomness at the end. Idk not my fave. But I'm glad I finished all the main books.

informative inspiring fast-paced
No rating. I do not rate non-fiction books. But I did enjoy this book. There were multiple times when I felt called out by what Mel was talking about, but it's probably for the best. I feel like this book found me at the right time. After reading this, I hope to take some of her advice to heart in everyday life. I did find some parts repetitive, but overall, it was a really enjoyable read that I would recommend to everyone

Omg what is that beast Titan????? I have so many questions. Ugh. What does Krista know? What is the truth about these walls? Are the villagers all Titans? What made them turn? Ahhhhhh.

3.5⭐️ - we finally found out who the female Titan is...Annie Leonhart! I had no idea it was her, but loved the reveal. I think it's interesting that people were able to figure it out based on her combat skills and how her Titan looks like her.

Finding out that Colossal Titans are inside the walls is insane! It makes sense because of that weird crystal substance that they can create, but who knew they could do that? Who made these Titans? So many questions!!!!

Interesting read...but did find myself bored in some parts. Excited to continue the series 👏

They don't tell you what Borderland is which makes the whole series feel a little pointless, but it was an enjoyable read.

This book was just fine. There is nothing too exciting about this book, but I did find some parts of this book pretty funny. I thought the main couple was cute, but I wasn't really a big fan of the mmc. He kind of gave me the ick a bunch of times. I did think the ending was cute. I was more excited about the Noah and Amelia stuff than the main couple. I'm glad I continued the series to see what was going on with Noah and Amelia, but this book was just mid.

This is my favorite book in the entire world. I am so grateful to my friend Amanda who recommended this book to me. It changed my life. It is a God tier book for me. I think these characters, this story, and the overall impact this book made on me will never leave my brain.

I felt so deeply connected to these characters immediately. I loved how easily I fell into the world this author created. You can tell she did a lot of research before making this story because it felt REAL! I was on the edge of my seat the whole book.

So many sad moments throughout this book had me unable to even read because I couldn't see through the tears. I cried the last chapter basically the whole time. I didn't wanna say goodbye to these characters. I still don't.

I will definitely hold this book near and dear to my heart forever. I did vlog me reading this, so I'll have a vlog with my overall thoughts and experience coming soon. 

Please read this book! 🙏🙌

Was this book deep? Not really. Was it entertaining? Yes. I had a lot of fun reading this and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a fun romance. It wasn't as BDSM as I thought it was gonna be, and tbh some of the sex scenes made me cringe. The overall story was really good, though, and I really liked it.
