a good book with no happy ending. It was a lot darker than I anticipated and I would highly encourage looking into trigger warnings before picking up this book

absolutely loved this. the characters were fleshed out and interesting. i think sylvie needed a little more time for her character development to seem plausible. i also wish it explained why florence was such a good actress. i absolutely loved the suspense and romance 😍 and the two different perspectives.
