Ok I have thoughts about this book. So many people on tiktok say it’s like so good and stuff. It’s not. The plot is weak, the characters are one dimensional, and the plot twist is weak. i had really high hopes going into it and it was not good.

Honestly, this book shook me to my core! I was legit in shock at the ending I couldn't believe it.
I read it in almost 1 sitting I was glued. Giving it 3 stars because I didn't really like the writing style, the mini stories about fantastical characters and princesses kind of annoyed me, it made it feel too choppy and almost delayed the main story. but other than that the book is haunting and heartbreaking as you slowly piece together the truth and find out the truth at the same speed as the narrator its structured so well.

I absolutely will not accept any criticism of this book! Many complain about this writing style but I loved it. It is perhaps a bit melodramatic and overly poetic, but it achieves exactly what it intends to. It not only made me empathize but also made me feel as if I had experienced those emotions myself. It took me back to the time of a grieving teenager... grieving about love, friendship, family, and oneself.

This book was a solid "3" until the end. The end is beautiful and sad and made me cry, bumping the score up to a "4"
