the way she describes colors is a bit weird and in general it feels like she used a thesaurus to write this

Also just found out the third book in this series is called Finale. Like you gotta be kidding me that’s the most unoriginal name for a final book ever

I just googled and apparently the guy everyone is obsessed with in Once Upon a Broken Heart isn’t even in the first book-so what am I reading this for 😭. That would mean I’d have to continue to books 2 and 3 to be introduced to this guy. Reddit has mixed reviews on Book 2 and Book 3. Idek what to do, do I scrap it and just jump right into reading OUABH?

I can’t believe I have 40% of this book to go. I’m getting more annoyed by how easily she just knows things and “solves” clues. It’s not a very sophisticated scavenger hunt and clues. I think her and Julian happened too fast tbh

I see what they mean by her writing isn’t very good in this series. I was thinking I was gonna read these three books then the Once Upon A Broken Heart books, still debating since the writing is ehh. I think I could have written this. Like it’s not bad it’s just not great - maybe good flushed out fanfic level
