Raise your hand if you are so full of new-transfer-student-at-school *raises my hand too energetically*! The poor integration of quotable quotes that made conversations too forced and preachy about life:Īs a hardcore quote lover, you’ll never know how painful it was for me to digest the quotes I spotted. I don’t know if the appearance of that character was just an after-thought, but it was painfully integrated that it was a face-palming experience. The plot was just as predictable and bland as the characters.If you want to go on an adventure with an immature angel girl head-over-heels and forbiddingly in love with a gorgeous, athletic mortal boy, then fuck the heavens – this might be for you.īut it wasn’t until half or 3/4 of the book that a REAL villain got thrown into the picture. The overly-clichéd plot that makes you wanna pull all your hair off: Please, not all girls are like that! Teenagers were badly portrayed in this book, and the characters just lacked depth.

I wanna throw this in heaven or hell or whatever part of anywhere. Thoughts after a few chapters: This book is the ultimate crap. I thought, “Really? I’m sure it can’t be THAT bad,” but let me tell you: it was THAT bad.
I was surprised by how negative a lot of the reviewers were. I did a little reading on Goodreads to know the community’s reaction to the book. Who doesn’t want that kind of cover? I can stare at it for hours. I instantly fell in love with the cover!
