This book was good. I feel like for me it was majorly overhyped and it kind of dragged for at least the first half. The pacing in the second half seemed to pick up a little and I have to admit that I did not see the plot twist coming. I’d definitely recommend it to people however the book in its entirety wasn’t as mind blowing as TikTok made out.
