DO NOT GO INTO THIS BOOK EXPECTING A ROMANCE.
This is a story with romantic elements, NOT a romance. A romance should have a HEA/HFN and this had nothing like that.
The book starts with Noah coming out, and he receives an anonymous message from a classmate. This reminded me of Simon vs The Homosapiens Agenda, which is a book I absolutely loved. I was hoping that A Mark On My Soul would be just as good.
Unfortunately, I made the mistake and went into this book expecting a queer YA romance, and the ending made me want to throw the book across the room (I couldn’t because I don’t have a physical copy). The last 10% ruined my enjoyment of the book. The more the reader learns about the characters and their families, the more predictable the ending becomes. Plot twists? Haven’t heard of them.
It’s a book that had potential, but in the end it just fell flat. The only reason it’s not a 1 star is because I loved the majority of the book. It had 5 star potential, but the ending ruined it.
