I laughed, I cried, I got turned on. What more can you ask for? Nesta is a nasty bitch with a heart of gold and I love her and relate to her and am so so proud of her. I cannot wait until the next one.

I love this world overall, but the pace of the book felt off. The main romantic relationship had a lot of toxicity for most of the book and it made it hard to read at times.  Overall, the FMC had a lot of development. I loved her interactions with her friends and the theme of women empowering women.
