IT ONLY FREAKING TOOK ME ONE FREAKING DAY TO FINISH THIS BOOK. IT COULD'VE BEEN LIKE 3 HOURS BUT I LITERALLY HAD TO FORCE MYSELF TO STOP. 
 HOLY FREAKING CRAP. THIS IS TOO GOOD. 
 I saw Paper Princess on goodreads a couple months back and I've been meaning to get the ebook form but when I went to the States for the holidays, I saw all 3 beautiful copies in a corner at an independent bookstore in San Francisco and I swear I could've created a scene right then and there. When I bought them, I immediately wanted to ditch my current read and start on this but since there were so many holiday activities, I didn't really get to read this book until I was about to go home. 
 It only took me 2 hours to be nearly done with it but since I wanted to express a full review I forced myself to stop and wait till I actually get home. AND NOW I'M DONE. AND I'M STRESSED. AS. FRICK. 
 Gideon, Reed, Easton, Sebastian and Sawyer. I'm sorry did you mention the Salvatore Brothers as the hottest brothers out there? GIRL, SIT DOWN. SAY HELLO TO THE ROYAL BROTHERS For me, they are literally it. They grabbed my heart, took it and smashed it right against the wall. ESPECIALLY REED. REED YOU GODDAMN BEAUTIFUL MONSTER. I love you. :(( 
 My hands are trembling right now because I can't focus on what to say. The story itself was so intense how in the world is this categorized as YA?! It wasn't at all predictable there were so many plot twists and I absolutely loved the pacing of it as well. I just felt like everything was so balanced with regards to Ella's backstory but at the same time the author managed to keep it mysterious for the Royal brothers. I'm not complaining with any of the characters because they weren't at all sugarcoated. All of them were so straight to the point and I loved it. I love the intensity of it all. GAHH. REED. 
 The ending.... holy mother of everything good what the heck was that!!!!!!! I never expected Brooke to actually screw one of the brothers like Gideon maybe but REED? MY PRECIOUS REED. Reed who is so strong yet fragile. My heart stopped at the last few pages because I honestly couldn't handle it. Just when things were actually going fine, something shitty happens and everybody's rattled up. And yet I still find myself enjoying the story! 
 This was such a good read to start the year!! Super recommend it to everyone in the book community! I also just found out that the second book is in Reed's POV. :) :) :) You all know what that means for me. I'm gone. Bye Felicia. 
 PS 
 I would most definitely edit this review when I post it in my blog because this is not how I imagined my review for this book would be. LOL this was more of a rant. But not to worry, I promise to be more professional when I'm done with the trilogy. God help me.
