Some kissing scenes with one being a touch love-ish. Her duologies make me happy and are the perfect length to convey a remarkable story.ĭefinitely a YA novel, maybe 2 curse words. Ahdieh is quickly becoming one of my top favorite authors. I felt the anguish and triumphs of each character. It was great getting everyone’s views because it rounded at the story from so many angles. Even when it changes mid-chapter, it’s easy to tell who’s speaking and what is happening. It’s so great when female characters really get the spotlight. Even Kanako, while evil-esque, still awesome. Ahdieh brought a dynamic, thoughtful and strong character in Mariko, and Yumi. His loyalty, sass, and honor round out a great character.īut on a real note, I LOVE BAD-A WOMEN. That little cinnamon roll is my latest book boyfriend, because he just gives you all the heart eyes.
