I had to go back and look at my "hidden" reviews to see why. I admitted to being a black sheep on this one since most people raved about it. If you want to know more about why I didn't, DM me and I'll give you the details. (I used to write such thorough reviews back then.

As for what book has been on my shelf the longest? This is tough, but probably Atlantia by Ally Condie? I pre-ordered it (I was a huge fan of her Matched series back in the day) but I had recently started blogging and saw a lot of negative reviews, so I was scared. And then I bought like, 9002973 more books, so. BUT the cover is pretty so I keep it. And lie to myself that I will read it one day.

Ava is on another plane altogether. It's one of those books that will stay with your for years.
