This was a strange book. It had me gripped early on, (and I really liked Fairlie, the main character who has a great attitude) the main male character was so infuriating I had to keep putting the book down and screaming into a pillow!!! How dare he treat someone this way! But then the twist came, and it was so entirely ridiculous that I couldn't even be shocked. Things weren't completely explained at the end either - it felt like the last part was a bit rushed and considering how long the author had spent on the middle part of the book it didn't seem like it was given the necessary attention. Still, I was only meaning to read 20 or so pages before bed and ended up speeding along towards the end at 100 mph.

I went into this one not expecting a lot. And I honestly couldn’t tell you why 🤷🏻♀️ goes to show though because I ended up really liking it.
I’ll admit, I did guess a few of the twists quite early on but that didn’t take away from the reading experience. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 addresses heavy topics and doesn’t hide Aqua from them. I think they’re so in your face, because in real life, they’re not always that way?
What I liked it that these women weren’t characters who were perfect, with unrealistic lives and stories. They were written like real women, that we all know and love.
