OK, so going into this book I definitely wasn’t sure what to expect but it was not what I got to put it lightly this book almost made me cry in the middle of class because it was so good. I was reading. It was like oh my God like I genuinely like it. I think it would be a situation that people could actually be in the way certain things were written overall this was really good. I loved it. I don’t know if it is like the best book. I’ve read this year, but it was very good.

La trama es demasiado oscura si lo comparamos con los dos primeros. Toca temas demasiado serios para dejarle una portada así de rosa. A pesar de que fue un libro que me gustó bastante, se sigue tambaleando al final, al igual que los anteriores.
El desenlace se siente apresurado pero satisfactorio.

it was quite good. i love how realistic everything was. the characters were so realistic and everything they did made sense and was believable. i think the presentation in both characters was really well done and interesting to read. i really felt like I was in their shoes tbh. also I really really appreciate the fact that it was a magical "everything is immediately fixed" ending. the way the ending was written was well done and realistic and I loved it. i like the author's writing and the pacing was good. i did not enjoy the third act breakup and I did get a lil second hand embarrassment/cringe at some points, but overall it wasn't hard to read or annoying at all. i quite liked this book. had a good time. would recommend.
