Sarah was absolutely the worst person in the entire story (though, sorry not sorry, all of the characters were such assholes one way or another). Not only was she a terrible person but a terrible friend as well. Not sure why Rhodes and Iliana were even friends with her.
The characters we're supposed to root for, Iliana and Rhodes, were terrible in their own gnarly ways. Neither felt horrible about hating someone with such vicious rage and constantly trying to pull the other down. How did this become a romance?? They have ZERO chemistry. Seriously.
Also, how in high heaven did Dusk get her degree? No wonder she accepted bribes!
So in conclusion, a poorly written story with shallow, unlikable (terrible) characters with barely any plot to follow. There are definitely better stories to read. This isn't one of them.

This was a cute enemies/rivals-to-lovers sapphic contemporary! I had a hard time distinguishing between the two points of view for a little while as they both felt really similar, but the characters eventually became more unique and easy to identify. I liked the Alice in Wonderland elements and the fandom/fanfiction parts of this book! I liked the setting as well.
