“She had been taught relentlessly to view the beings that surrounded her as deadly monsters. It was only as she grew older that she began to view them as dangerous not for all the ways they were monstrous, but for all the ways they were not.”

*sighs* I really REALLY wanted to like this book. Considering it was hyped everywhere on booktok and is rated high by the people here on Goodreads. Unfortunately for me, I didn't enjoy this one.

༻❁༺
I was not too fond of the writing style of this book. It mostly focuses on telling the readers about something, instead of showing it to them. The author tells the readers what the characters are feeling instead of just showing it to us.

༻❁༺
I also didn't like how the word "fuck" was being thrown around (It was like I was reading the script of HBO's Euphoria
