Basically, it’s like a mystery surrounding identity and Iris’s missing sister. There’s also magic involved. :)

Grey is something else… 😭🤚🏾

I was intrigued by this story all the way through. The author kept the tension high and the major reveal just out of reach for long enough to sustain interest. This was not what I was expecting - and not what I would normally read - but I enjoyed it.

It til me nearly three months to read this book and there’s a reason for that. 

The only likeable character is Tyler, and the plot is predictable as all hell. The brief antisemitism I can only assume was unintentional, but the thinly veiled anorexia joke surely was intentional. 

ETA: 

the “plot twist” is practically revealed on page 19 if you pay attention
