The chokehold that Olivie Blake’s writing has on me. I was silently sobbing throughout this book.
Its emphasis on family and sacrifice hits so deep, along with Blake’s eloquent writing, WOW

A weird and heartwrenching story about love, power, and sacrifice. I like the pacing and the Romeo and Juliette retelling aspect. I loved the intensity of the characters - they loved and suffered strongly, and they took a part of my soul in the process.

3.75/5 very good book, but it felt like the climax happened first and then the build up happened after if that makes sense?? a Romeo and Juliet inspired book but with a twist
