All of that aside, I had fun reading this and I'm very excited to read Dawn's newer books! I have a strong feeling those will be more suited to me and I'm glad I picked this one up.
Buddy read with the wonderful Sam and Ashley! 🥰
✨ Representation: Kaitlyn/Carly has DID (inspired by the author's family member but I can't speak to the quality of the representation), implications of a queer main character

I guessed the twist ending though, so take it with a grain of salt.
(There’s a weird moment towards the end where, during a video description, which the entire book has been narrated as objective 3rd person, says “I fucking hate crying”. It’s the first time a first person statement was used in an objective transcript like that and it really threw me off, looked for hidden meaning but couldn’t find one so 🤷🏼‍♀️)
Edit: thought on it a bit more and this book attempts to do so many things with the plot, and on the whole it drags down the narrative. There’s a magic system that seems to be trying to take root, but it’s mostly poorly explained and confusing.
