Read this in one sitting (for 8.5 hours straight). I do not regret it.
This book is devastating and full of hope at the same time. I was hoping we would get to the happily ever after sooner, but I guess this is what Unrivaled will be about.

3 stars
I don't want to be overly critical of this book, because for me it was a pleasant and easy to read for the most part. However, I despise the Dov character more than I have ever any other antagonist. When I thought I had read past his heinousness, there was more, and honestly I almost DNFed for that alone.
Nonetheless, if you ignore him, the book is actually enjoyable and the first half was very promising... As other people have noted here, the second half was not as good. I still went on hoping it would get better and it did not disappoint me per se, but it didn't deliver either. Sadie had become pretty annoying by that point, for no apparent reason (she thinks that she has suffered the worst pain in the world and that everyone else is responsible), and the final pages didn't help to absolve her.

In general, I would not recommend it but it's still an okay book.

Letters of note: Cats

There were many funny stories about cats and their shenanigans, but there were way too many about deaths for me and one of them was particularly unpleasant. This book was a fine read generally.
