THE GOOD: I finally finished a BOTM book. I didn't guess the twist.
THE BAD: slow-burn, Naomi's and Cass's characters read young and immature for them being in their late 20s, "we tumbled into oblivion", I hated the way women and mental health were portrayed.
Favourite quote: "Sometimes it seemed like the only thing I'd ever been good at was being broken. I didn't know how to be whole. So any time I felt like I was healing, I found a way to break myself again."
THE VERDICT: ★★☆☆☆.5
