"It's a good book. I read it after seeing the movie, and the storyline were pretty similar with a few details left out of the movie, but that's to be expected. Can't wait to read the rest of the series and any other movies they release later on. "

"I read the first and second book and they were both good. Good story and plot, interesting world.I just kinda fell out of it and lost interest in it after I finished the second one. 7/10⭐"

"Sooo good!! I couldn’t put it down! Really makes you think about the damage beauty standards can have and also encourages you to look deeper at who you are inside. I felt like I got to know myself better as I got to know the characters. Highly recommend :)"

"I started reading this because I saw it was being made into a movie on Netflix. The book was quick easy read. I actually like the story concept. It reminded me of Divergent"
