@JohnPhilpin it was on a recommended list I got sent, and I was reading into astrology (curious about the mechanics) a little while back so I was interested to see how it could be incorporated into a story. Apparently it was just a catch phrase they threw about in the story with little to no research.
@vishae for discussion / fun … that phrasing at the end … ‘much better written book’ versus ‘much better book’ …. I can imagine a 2*2 matrix with books mapped in to the 4 quadrants … eg file dan brown in good book, badly written etc etc …
so this book would be both bad and badly written …
or is it that for you a good book has to be well written aswell ?
@JohnPhilpin oh I can totally agree with the 4 quadrants, and Dan Brown is a perfect example of good story that’s not well written.
A lot of YA books has an interesting premise that is not executed well.
This book is both bad and terribly written.
@vishae why did you start it?

@vishae got it … I guess you can judge a book by its cover 😉
@JohnPhilpin Well, funny thing is, the cover really reminds me of Rainbow Rowell’s Eleanor and Park and that was a much better written book.
