I like how you're honest and just didn't straight up compliment the book, cause you're right while it does have an engaging storyline it still has some shortcoming.
I have never heard about this book(defy the night) tho but after listening to you, I have added one more book to my "the book I want to read" list. Please do a book review of It ends with us, too.
I loved how you expressed the title part that really would give chills if you already read the whole book and then meet the title like hey now i know what you meant by it. amazing keep going keep it up.
