What did I think?/
Spoiler alert
I AM HOOKED. I was hooked from merely reading the synopsis. Although the ideas of the book have been done before I think it's so interesting to see this authors take on it. Doing each chapter from separate two protagonists perspectives really enabled me to experience the two different emotions of the same event. Something I often find missing in other books.
This books reminds me positively of Noughts and Crosses as both books explore forbidden love, in a particular indescribably way.
Also, because I was unfamiliar with the author I was really shocked by some of the actions; Days mothers death, his brothers sacrifice and because of this I was left longing for the next book.
Characters: 4/5
Narrative: 4/5
Literature: 3/5
Overall: 4/5
