Wow. I don’t even know where to begin. Well, it took me several months to finish this book, including having to start over because I took a short break and then forgot what was going on, oof. But oh the last quarter was really intense. My favorite moment was when

.

I loved the variety of characters that we followed, each with their distinct personality and tone. On to book two!
