Overall, this book sadly really didn't do it for me. Without spoiling stuff, some emotional reactions were overwritten, the background felt too violent for me, and I unfortunately guessed too many things before they happened.
Also, I really didn't appreciate how some heavy and violent stuff was only dealt with and "solved" in passing, like the topic wasn't serious.
Still, some good/cute things inbetween.
A smaller but real bummer: there did not need to be any H*rry P*tter mentions in this book (why do we need to reference a transphobe's work??!!), and there were several. No thank youuu.

the twist in this book caught me wholeheartedly by my surprise after reading the first part of part 3 i couldnt put the book down like what just happened? i need to know what matt is going to do like huh?
and the romance is so UGHSVSHDVJDBD i cant with them they just go together so well
and the advice of leaving a situation you cant live in and cant change was just so nice to hear after having to do the same
