Because the book was very confusing to understand and the characters were annoying. And nothing made sense I had to read a page like 5 times to understand anything.

I liked it. Read it in one sitting, sadly I found the “big mystery” a but predictable, but it still baffled me when i realised. Also the ending felt a bit rushed.

i liked this book a lot, however the ending was quite odd and rushed. also when

cady started getting migraines

it just took a long portion of the book, and wasn’t that interesting.

This book was not my favorite. The plot twist was definitely not expected, but I was expecting something bigger. Cadence, the main character, is really annoying. She is just obsessed over Gat and is really seaking for sympathy a lot of the time. The character development was also nonexistent. The rest of the characters didn’t make me feel attached into the book. The writing style was also very different from what Im used to, and I did like the writing style in the middle to the end, but in the beginning it was super confusing. This book is pretty faced paced and it is short, so if you want to just read to get it off of your tbr, then I guess you could read it.
