I felt horrible for Romy and how people treated her like she was just a speck of dirt.<br /><br />Yes, I adored Leon as well! <3 I was actually not expecting to like him when we first met him, but eventually he grew on me. :)<br /><br />I totally get what you mean. I was a bit confused sometimes with the way the before/now chapters were done, and also because sometimes I wanted one more than the other.Aimee (Aimee, Always)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12987337914677408281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-53927432588712231152015-04-29T02:29:42.900+01:002015-04-29T02:29:42.900+01:00Jas, I am glad you enjoyed this one!!!

The issues the book deals with are so important and frustrating. This book was just so heart breaking to read at times :(<br /><br />BUT LEON BRIGHTENED IT UP. Because Leon is beautiful <3 and I loved her Mom and her Mom's Boyfriend too. They were so kind and I loved that they never turned their backs on her. :)<br /><br />Lovely review, hon <333 <br /><br />Rashika @ <a href="http://thesocialpotato.maryfaye.net" rel="nofollow">The Social Potato</a>Rashika https://www.blogger.com/profile/03823262638606052465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-7377653776759778432015-04-28T23:04:09.173+01:002015-04-28T23:04:09.173+01:00Great review, J!

Only once in a blue moon am I in the mood to read one. <br />But I've heard good things about this one - especially with how powerful it is.

It's difficult to read which is why, though I desperately want to read this, I've been putting it off. Thanks for such an honest and comprehensive review, though, Jasprit--I definitely need to make time for this one.

God, I was so looking forward to that book when it came out, but then I forgot about it. at first glance, All the Rage sounds really interesting, I only wish it had worked out better for you. Nonetheless, it still looks like there's some positives here and there.

I already feel so much for Romy and I already want to rage at everyone in the book who don't believe Romy. It's a hard topic to read about so I'll have to emotionally prepare myself for it.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-81007539160213445292015-04-27T09:23:19.813+01:002015-04-27T09:23:19.813+01:00Beautiful review Jasprit. <3 I'm so glad yo...Beautiful review Jasprit. <3 I'm so glad you enjoyed this book. But aw. Three stars? I'm so sorry that you did not love it :( I loved it so much. But omg, yes. It made me rage too. It was so heartbreaking. And so evil. Yet so perfect too. I loved Romy and Leon so so much :) Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this book sweetie. <3Carina Olsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962924929801205597noreply@blogger.com
