I love the summery setting of this novel, it's really made the nice weather today feel like the start of summer. Usually summery novels have this sense of perfection and happiness, but this novel uses the summery setting to create a false sense of security which I love!
It's unconventional but I love the way the novel is written and structured. The use of fairytales to reflect the protagonist's story is really interesting and of course, the whole premise is based on the fact she is an unreliable narrator, which is what adds to the twists. At times, some things felt like they were typos which did throw me off a bit but they could be part of the dialect.
I felt the plot was well paced and I liked the twists and turns. The mystery and romance blend creates a great set up for the storyline. The characters were interesting and I wanted to know their motives, their relationships and what happened next. None of these characters are particularly good people but they're interesting and flawed, making it a good read.

I love the way that E. Lockhart writes. 🤩 Specifically how she describes characters. 🥰 If I could pick one author to describe me, I’d pick her. 🙃 I also really like the way that her characters aren’t perfect, and the way the characters sometimes call out the other characters. 😅
Despite the fact that I’ve read this book three times now,
The only specific thing that I don’t like about this book is how
But overall, I really like this book and it’s made me really excited for summer! ☀️ (Despite the fact that it’s February. 🥶)
