If I had to describe this book in one word, it would be: WILD… but in a good way, definitely in a good way. It's so good I wanna cry.
"Please know I say this with the utmost compassion, but you need a therapist, like holy crap."
Before even starting this book, my first impressions were that it was gonna be cringy. I’m mean I’m NoT LiKe OtHeR gIrLs? What more could I expect? But right off the bat, I fell in love. The main character, Jo, is so relatable and is one of the best characters I’ve read about in a long time. I love the feeling how she’s not telling the story, but she's really talking to you. I love how you can really feel her emotions through the book, her joy, anxiety, anger and sadness, you really feel it.
"This is the trouble with girls like me, we don't stop, don't listen, don't shut up, don't say the right thing, don't say anything when it matter most. And we run, always from something, never towards anything."
I was not expecting there to be a fake dating trope in the book, but I loved it, absolutely love it. Jo and Hudson are so friggin cute, even as friends. Hudson is the standard. Give me a Hudson right now. He's so loving and understanding and AHHH!!
"Maybe this can’t happen right now, but if I have to choose between it or you, I choose you everytime."
I loved all the characters so much. Even the ones you’re supposed to hate, I loved hating them. The dynamic of all the different characters interacting was just written so well. Each person had their own individual personalities that made it so hard not to relate to someone.
The message in this book was amazing and I hope it brings awareness to the problems discussed in the book. Following Jo in the story, finding things about herself, really made me realize things about me as well and I could really relate to her. I hope that anyone who reads this and relates to what happened to Jo, finds comfort in this book and knows they aren't alone <33
"No, two letters, one complete sentence."
I love how this was a mystery, but it wasn’t the MAIN focus and there were other things that drove the book, it made it a lot more enjoyable.
The ending was crazy and overwhelming and... underwhelming at the same time… but in a good way?? I don’t know how to explain it but everything in this book was just done right. The small hints you get, the romance, the mystery. I really REALLY enjoyed it and I’m so, SO sad to leave these characters behind.
"I dont think it's Maddy you miss, I think you miss you."
I’m so excited to read everything else Meredith Adamo writes in the (hopefully near!) future ❤️...more

Wow, just wow. this is truly one of the best and most original book i've ever read. I really thought I knew who the killer was, I was so convinced I waWow, just wow. this is truly one of the best and most original book i've ever read. I really thought I knew who the killer was, I was so convinced I was right... but I wasnt and I did not see that plot twist coming, but thinking back to it, it feels like it was right there the whole time.
In every book where there is a love triangle the guys are always so salty, but michael was so supportive and gave her patience and that made me so happy. in the inheritance games I was team jameson from the start but now I’m really conflicted, I love both of them. Dean can be a bit... much at times, but I still love him
the whole concept of the naturals program is so cool and I wish I was a natural, and honestly after reading this I feel like I’m ready to join the FBI.
I’m saw a lot of similarities between the naturals and the inheritance games 1. Cassie is like Avery. Mom is dead, dad is out of the picture, works in a restaurant to make extra cash. 2. Cassie’s swearing is like max -> what the hello kitty just happened. Mother foxing elf. 3. Michael is Jameson. He’s even got the whole nickname thing going on 4. Dean is Grayson. He even excessively works out 5. Lia is Thea (it even rhymes). Like literally I’m reading about the same person, both are ALWAYS causing trouble
I really can't tell if I liked the naturals or the inheritance games better, they were both so amazing....more
this took FOREVER to read, but idc because it is one of the greatest books(/series for that matter) to exist. the characters are exceptional, the plot this took FOREVER to read, but idc because it is one of the greatest books(/series for that matter) to exist. the characters are exceptional, the plot is phenomenal, I could literally write a 500 page essay on why I love this book, but i'll leave it at that.
finally, FINALLY something happened between Cress and Thorne, after the long LONG wait FiNaLlY. I was literally screaming and crying and laughing and highlighting as if my life depended on it. literally my 2 favorite chapters EVER are 71 and 95, I have read them like 100 times and it will NEVER get old. also chapter 89 is the most chaotic chapter ever and I cried my eyes out side note: the way she calls him Captain is so CUTE, and when Iko says it I’m like 'back off hun, he's taken' (view spoiler)[WHEN HE STABBED HER OMG I WAS CRYING (hide spoiler)]
Winter and Jacin are so cute BUT JACIN NEEDS TO MAN UP AND TELL HER (I mean he did but, idk if it counted). (view spoiler)[when winter glamoured scarlet to kill aimery, ahhhhh like bruhhhhhh, I knew it was gonna happen eventually but danggggggggg (hide spoiler)] Jacin is number 1 SuCH A MOOD, and 2 HE IS ZORO
CHAPTER 4 was the moment I was waiting for for the longest time!! CINDER AND KAI ARE SO ADORBSSSS (view spoiler)[the fact that he ASKED HER IF SHE WANTED TO BE EMPERESS BRUUHHHHHHH (hide spoiler)]
and what happened to wolf was so sad, but scarlet still loves him and I’m tearing up thinking about it ...more
Omg that was so good I dont even know where to start. I guess i'll start with the best part... KAI. I didnt think I could love a fictional character soOmg that was so good I dont even know where to start. I guess i'll start with the best part... KAI. I didnt think I could love a fictional character so much. the whole book I was waiting for cinder and kai's reunion and let me tell you, it was worth the wait (for all of y'all wondering its chapter 59). It killed me (in a good way). and then you have the moment between cress and thorne, I did not see it coming and it got me, it really got me.
all of the characters are so amazing and lovable (except sometimes wolf, he needs to grow up... sorry), the plot was phenomenal, everything about it was just amazing. everything fit so well together and details that were in the first book come back in this one (view spoiler)[like dr. erland being cress' dad, RIP btw (hide spoiler)]...more

RAPUNZEL. (view spoiler)[and how the lunars were pretending to be her grand-mere like the fairytale (hide spoiler)] sometimes I forgot that it's based off of a fairy tale and then you remember what happens in the fairy tale and just hoping that it doesnt happen in the book (it usually does). thats why I’m kinda scared to read cress because I know what might happen to Thorne... (also I bet cress is that hacker girl)
WOlf is so sweet in his own weird way, but Kai is still number one, thorne is up there... but ✨KAI✨ I love thorne and cinder's relationship and I think that me and thorne are competing for #1 Cinder/Kai shipper......more
