This book was like a bad soap opera. The characters were annoying, the dialogue was cringy, and the plot was completely over the top. However, there was something weirdly, compulsively readable about this that made it hard to put down. Points to the audiobook and that fact for making it so I read this book in only a matter of hours 🤷‍♀️

This is a good book but I found the main character to be a bit cringy in some parts. The author used a lot of current-day teenager slang which I feel will get a bit out of date in a few years.
I wouldn't say this book is bad, but it isn't as good as The Obsession.
I feel like there were a lot of weird moments where the book was really rollercoaster-ish. It does deal with a lot of sensitive areas which I can see as being problematic because they feel very stereotypical and underdone.
I feel like the cover doesn't really match the book. I feel like if the book was more like the cover it would've been a much better book. Jesse Q. Sutanto is such a great writer - especially in The Obsession - so tbh this wasn't really what I expected.
