This was SO bad. Like horrendous. I honestly don't understand what the author was trying to do with it, and there were so many elements that I could have done without.
The flashbacks had no bearing at all on the main story - if they weren't there, the story would be exactly the same. I listened to this as an audiobook, and definitely could have done without the singing. Again, completely out of place and actually not hugely important to the story either. The ending wasn't satisfying either - after all this build up to Evan and Shosh (also, Shosh, really?) we don't even get to see them spend any time together. Literally one party with friends.
It's disappointing because it sounded so good, and had so much potential, and I thought it was going to give me Addie LaRue vibes, but this was just a hot mess.
I've given this two stars purely for Will and his character. If I had been reading this as a physical book, it would absolutely have been a DNF.
