DTB. honestly so upset about that 3rd act [fill in blank]. i don’t know if it’s because of how long it took me to read this book but i was a bit underwhelmed. i don’t know why. it honestly could be my slump and maybe after i analyze the book i’ll appreciate it more. i do like this book and the development but i think i need mind space to understand it DEEPER (if that makes any sense)
