THIS REVIEW CONTAINS A LOT OF SWEARING. YOU ARE WARNED

First and foremost, I’d like to apologize to the author I meant no disrespect sis I just hate this I’m sorry and for those who enjoyed this book, good for you but I can’t relate.


1.5 Stars
WHAT THE FUCK. I said those three words every 5 minutes while I read this mess of a book. Seriously tho what the fuck did I just read. I am beyond disappointed and angry and frustrated. I want my time back. I could’ve been reading some good shit but nooooooo. As someone who LOVED cruel beauty this was a major disappointment and such a let down that I deadass threw this book across the room while I screamed in frustration

What I liked:
1. The writing was as pretty as it is fucking confusing. But still pretty


What I didn’t like:
1.Rachelle
I have never ever ever ever read a character so near sighted, so stupid, and so brash and did I mention SO FUCKING STUPID. JUST HOW NEAR SIGHTED AND STUPID AND EASILY MANIPULATED ARE YOU? DO YOU EVEN HAVE A BRAIN YOU PEA HEADED LITTLE SHIT

2.The romance
One second she hate this dude then she told him she loved him and then she kissed him. AN HOUR LATER, (literally an hour later in the book) she went and fucked another guy she hated. Ok bitch the fuck? Go choke on his dick

3.The world building and the plot and the story itself
Just what the fuck was going on and just what the fuck is everything? This book made me feel dumb as fuck I didn’t even know what the fuck was going on. I mean I love complex plots and worldbuilding and shit but this one is just ugh. I mean I get it, as a writer my imagination can get wild and shit but sis don’t I deserve a bit of explanation on what the fuck is going on because 430 pages later I’m still lost

4.Character development
Shitty person becomes less shitty because she’s so brave yay my hero. No go to hell Rachelle

5.The ending
Ok I read 430 pages for that. Ok wHAT THE FUCK THAT WAS SHITTY AS SHITTY COMES

6. “Red riding hood retelling”
BITCH WHERE? WHAT RETELLING? THERES NO WOLF NO GRANDMA NO SHIT. THE ONLY THING THAT WAS AS CLOSE AS RED RIDING HOOD IS THE FACT THAT SHE WORE A RED DRESS. THATS IT. THAT LITERALLY IS IT. ISSA COMPLETELY NEW STORY. I want what the author was smoking when she wrote this because who the fuck sits down and think this is a retelling of red riding hood?

7. The disability rep
He literally is nothing but a dude with two stumps instead of a hand. No personality no nothing.
Oh and how Can I forget that one time where the main character decides to insult the disabled dude and he just laughed it off because he was oh so in love with her. Like what.the.fuck

8.Just everything about this book



Ok let me go chug a whole bottle of vodka and smoke a pack of cig. I’m out

Sabrien Abdelrahman I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. I haven't read Cruel Beauty yet, but honestly? I have low expectations. At least I can't be disappointed that way.


Nadhira Satria @Sabrien me and my friend loved it but yes it may get confusing and the ending was kind of shitty but nevertheless I hope you like it! Don’t forget to tell me what you think of it! :)

I need compensation for this


CrossCulture I just finished this. I loved veel beauty so much. What in the hell was this piece of crap? Literally , the story jumped every page from irrational scenario and superficial detail talk about nonsense to another, including her thought process, personality, plot of the story.literally everything that happened or was said was completely random and uninteresting. I can’t believe how bad this was, like someone who never wrote a book before. Are her other books the same? Or should I just stick to cruel beauty.

Dove BITCH WHERE?... Is my air? I'm wheezing 😂.

I didn't really like Cruel Beauty, so I never planned on reading this but your review/rant made my day.

hahahaha thank you


Tabor Love this review. I personally just read the part where Rachelle confesses her love and then fucks another guy she hated in less than 20 pages and was so confused. I came on goodreads to see if anyone else thought that was absolutely bizarre. Thank you for making me laugh and affirming my thoughts!


Nadhira Satria @Tabor ikr??? It’s so weird like make up your mind!! I hope you like this better than I do


High Queen of Elfhame Hahah I’ve restarted this audiobook 5 times cuz I’ve gotten so lost/confused/bored.. and I guess I am currently zoning out on my 6th attempt since I’m on Goodreads seeing what other ppl thought about it, instead of registering who the fuck Amélie is and when the hell she came into the book??
But your review has just confirmed that I should probably just give up. Lol at least I got to listen to some pretty words.
