i was not expecting any of the things that happen in this book! i actually went in thinking it was just a romance! it is not :)
the characters were sooo nasty and unlikeable but i had a good time. definitely not for everyone.

This book had several twists that I didn’t see coming, all the while being slightly mysterious - creating a combination that made it hard for me to put down.
Ivy Lin is an unreliable main character, and this whole story is warped by her perspective. A lot of the characters seem like bad people, but I found myself constantly questioning how bad of people they really were, because I was viewing all of them through Ivy’s eyes.
The theme of ownership comes up several times in this book. Ivy struggles to change her destiny, take ownership over her own life, but always ends up under the thumb of somebody else.
