This book's plot line was so reflective of our society today and really easily makes you stop and think. Are the characters loveable- its complicated because the main characters, Callum and Sephy, are so deeply in love and trapped in their own world that they collectively are the only thing you can focus on which personally didnt want me to love one or the other but leave them without a specific favourite and no bias as i read.  however, the characters had only one personality and the plot was predictable.

This is a great book. It’s definitely a page Turner. Huge plot twists and a heartbreaking ending that you would not expect. Recommend reading the rest of the series definitely a lot more things happen. One of my favourite books
