dark fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? N/A
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

If you like books with flat characters/absolutely no development, Mary/Gary Sues, and getting whiplash from characters dealing with (sometimes extremely) traumatic events and then making out/flirting/dry humping, and having stories being told at you instead of pulling you in and showing you what is happening, then this book is for you.

If you like books with amazing and unique world building, decisions that make sense, meaningful relation- and friendships, and having two different narrators with distinct voices, then this book is NOT for you.

She’s not like the other girls, but there’s also

not any other girls that she interacts with who aren’t family,

which is pretty insufferable. It’s 2024, it shouldn’t be hard for an author to develop a strong female character without making a mockery of what being a strong female character actually is.
