*END SPOILER*) I also didn’t feel that invested in or connected to anyone at first they kinda seemed like every other YA character with a tragic backstory that I’ve read about.
(Side note: *SPOILER* I can only imagine how Castle must’ve felt having so many of his plans thrown into turmoil by the love lives of three overdramatic teenagers. For the first two, I kinda felt like maybe I was just too old for this series and have forgotten how it feels to be a teen because all the characters were just so DRAMATIC, and it drove me a little bit up the wall, even though it was probably realistic. I also felt that each book got a little bit better with more realism, nuance, and development among the characters and their emotions. There are a lot of things that seem a certain way in the first book, or that don’t entirely make sense, or that aren’t fully believable, but they end up being addressed or having explanations in later books. If you haven’t read these yet, one important thing to know is that this series is one that you have to kind of commit to. Spoiler-Free Semi-Series Review of Books 1-3 I feel like it’s impossible to talk about these books without discussing the whole series, so I’ve done quick thoughts for each individual books, plus a spoiler-free semi-series review with this review and a spoiler-filled discussion with my review of Book 3.
