This story is like nothing I've read before.
It's so addictive, chilling, strange, and new. It's very fast-paced, you won't even notice you've read the whole book until you flip the last page. And the writing style itself! Not only is it so easy to read, but it's so unique. Don't even get me started on the number of quotes I've marked, I had to buy another pack of sticky notes haha
The main character is one of Cinderella's evil sisters, Isabelle. And honestly, I hated her. She's not a good person, she's jealous and bitter. But she's also one of the most interesting characters I've ever read about. Throughout the book, we learn why she's the way she is and sympathise with her.
The plot itself was not brilliant, but I enjoyed it. But I'm almost happy that the plot wasn't so good because I could focus on the character development and the quotes haha
But seriously, read this book. It will take you three days and I promise you won't regret it.

This was too long and too painful. 

 review from October of 2020 - SJM kept her writing style - the first 500 pages are good, nothing special tho. And on the last 300 pages, she throws at you every shocking thing you could think of. Like everything. To be honest, I expected that Syrinx will have puppies in the epilogue 🤣 also, the ending felt a little bit... Much? It felt like SJM made a list of things that could go wrong and wrote them down. I LOVED the friendship between Danika and Bryce. Also, anyone new reading this, I recommend you to take a piece of paper and for the first 100 pages to take notes about who has what position and how does he look like. I was pretty confused about Micah and Isaiah for the most part of the book.
