Review: A little disappointed
Rating: 2 out of 5

When I first read the synopsis of the book, I knew I was in for an emotional ride. I mean with themes of depression, suicide, and murder, it had huge potential. I literally said "Oh snaaapp!" when they said Emma is Ethan' sister. I like reading books that give me feels, that destroy my being, that makes me swear at them for being so painfully good. Yeah, I am a sadist. Sadly the characters weren't portrayed to their best. I didn't connect or felt their pain as much as I hoped. I was expecting a book that made me feel bad about living in my good life but it never really struck on. I wished it had emotions that I had with Fullmetal Alchemist, where I burst out crying or just had mind spasm. I wanted to read a book that made me "VJJEAFJEALFJEHGRGVNBNRG", I want a book that I cry out in pain while my sister looked on thinking I am insane, however I didn't get what I wanted. There weren't struggles within the characters for me. There wasn't much depth. The book didn't break me down as much as I wanted. The romance was mediocre. Oh yes, I should mention that the book is written in alternating POV. I really do like alternating POV because you get to see both sides. Overall, I didn't quite enjoy this book as much as I hoped.
