FINALLY GETTING A MOVE ON WITH MY TBR LIST!!! 
 Okay, so this book was practically on my TBR shelf forever. I would always be hesitant in starting The Raven boys because I honestly didn't know what to expect, which made me wait a bit longer but every time I would see its aesthetics on my IG feed I would immediately say that I would read it asap. Anyways yeah, those things were kind of happening back and forth but the day where I actually picked up this book and sat down finally happened. 
 To be blunt, it was an okay read. It wasn't horrible but it didn't really capture my interest for it. It was just simply, OK. The writing wasn't bad and so was the plot but again my expectations for this book weren't really met. 
 The blurb basically talked about the forbidden love between Gansey and Blue but they barely had development with one another throughout the story. There was a point wherein I was just waiting for their moment to happen but it just never did and it made me really disappointed because the concept of "forbidden love" was something that attracted me to read this book in the beginning. For a blurb that focused on their love story, it was all pretty subtle in the book. 
 Another thing would be The Raven Boys itself or The Aglionby boys; to be honest with all of you, I actually have this thing for rich ass private high school boys because I'm easily entertained by those types of characters, similar to Erin Watt's Paper Princess trilogy. So naturally I was again, expecting a lot from them but all I read were basically about their cars. For real though, it was like those cars were characters themselves. Like I get it, Gansey drives a Camaro. You don't have to keep repeating the word "Camaro" in every page. 
 For the plot itself, it was really interesting, not gonna lie. But the distribution of story arcs between them were kind of messy that it made me confused throughout the important stuff. Heck, I don't even know what's important in the story or not. 
 This might sound like it's a full on negative review but like I said earlier, it wasn't bad. I hear that it gets better throughout the next books so we'll see. Maybe the next books will do justice to the slow start the first book gave me.
