What even is this book? I feel like Sogn was trying to write 3 different novels at once, the message was garbled, and the pacing was just plain weird. And yet I gobbled it up in 3 days and find myself wishing that Sogn had other books I could add to my tbr.

This book was a hot mess. There was so much potential in the story. I wanted it to be more believable and less cheesy.
