Customer Reviews

Interesting Concept and Fast-Paced Read

I love the plot and concept of this book in which love is seen as a disease. It's an interesting plot that every author isn't writing about which makes it a breath a fresh air. This is the best out the trilogy series, and I fell in love with this book specifically because of the world-building, the characters, and the adventurous/ fast-paced dystopian love story

Loved this whole reading experience!

A friend of mine lent this book to me, and I was so impressed. 😮 In a future where love is considered a dangerous disease, science has discovered a procedure that can permanently keep a human from feeling emotion. But the procedure can only be performed once one has matured to the age of 18. When I tell you this book had me at the edge of my seat, I’m NOT kidding!! You can find a more detailed review of this book on my Instagram page! Check it out: @praiseworthy_pages

Cover

Not a review on the book but on the cover. Specifically ordered paperback and the one without the giant face on it. Well what did i get? Hardback and the one with the giant face on it. I can't bring myself to read it, just a psychological thing.

Wrong cover

The cover displayed for purchase is not the same one you'll get. I've very picky about having all the covers match with the other ones in the series.

Different Cover

This isn’t a review for the book itself, just the cover. I hate people on the cover of my books so when I ordered it I made sure to order the newer covers with hearts. I didn’t receive the ones with hearts, I received the face on it. If I would have know i was going to get this one I would have wait the extra time to order it from Amazon.

Very intriguing series

I love how this book focuses on the power of love. The characters are also very well developed and as you read, things may surprise you.

Love Love Love

I absolutely adore this novel!!!!!! Being able to go on an adventure with a girl as she dives into a forbidden world of love. I couldn’t put it down.

Well written but kinda cheesy

The book was well written and the plot was good. The only thing that annoyed me was the relationship with the mc and her first bf(she has 2. Yes the love triangles are in book 3). His character was really good in this book but was poorly used in the later books. Most of the supporting characters are, for the most part, unlikable, but I suppose it adds to the purpose of the plot(for certain characters).
