I was dubious when I started reading the book. Part 1 wasn't great. I didn't like being in Millie's point of view, as she wasn't very smart and a bit self-absorbed about her feelings. And it was unnecessarily long compared to the rest of the book. But I really liked part 2.

I enjoyed getting Nina's point of view and understanding where she was coming from.

. And part 3 was great conclusion. It remains to be seen what the next books will bring.
