This book is a hard read and definitely not one that should be done before bed but it is also a read that completely caught me off guard. You believe you know where the end is going, only to be completely wrong and shocked. There are definitely triggers within this book so read with caution

wow, i'll admit i didn't see that plot twist coming at all. the writing is decent too and managed to capture my attention so much i finished the book in 2 days.

the not so great stuff: literally no diversity. characters were frustrating as hell, especially quincy.

i'm kinda mad that quincy still managed to escape any sort of accountability at the end. she really just sat by and let tina take the fall for her. i know it was done "against her protests" but let's be real, if she really didn't want tina to make a false confession on her behalf, she would've actually done something about it instead of making empty objections.

while the writing and plot managed to hook me in, i wasn't impressed by anything else so i don't know if i can say i would recommend this.
