1.0

Usual tropes and predictable plot, the characters are not redeemable or likeable at all, the only part I did enjoy was the ending and was wishful throughout we could have followed Verity. Alas, we had beige toast instead.

It was amazing but reading it was like when there’s a car crash and you can’t get yourself to look away. Trying to put this book down was like that. So fucked up. Read it in one night. Finished it at 4am. Pretty sure I won’t get much sleep this week now.
