ARC from Netgalley, Harper Collins Canada.

This was a beautiful read, as always with Dean Atta. The writing is incredible and the characters are lovely. I didn't connect as much with the story as I did with Black flamingo, and I didn't really liked the relationships, even though I think this was the goal of the book. I still liked this story and recommand it!

Ce livre était une lecture magnifique, comme toujours avec Dean Atta. L'écriture est incroyable, et les personnages attachants. Je n'ai toutefois pas autant connecté avec l'histoire comme ça avait été le cas avec Black Flamingo, et je n'ai pas vraiment aimé les relations amoureuses, bien que je pense que cela était un peu le but du livre. J'ai tout de même aimé l'histoire et je la recommande!

Thank you to the publishers for allowing me to review this book!
