I feel like this book had a lot of potential but fell somewhat flat in execution... pacing was out of control, it felt like the book should've been twice as long OR two books. A lot of scenes or resolutions could've had much more impact if we'd spent longer with the characters and had more time to just relax with them instead of frantically running around the whole time from big plot event to bigger plot event.
"Divided" might be a good way to describe a lot of the book. The author seems to have had a lot of competing goals and ideas that never quite came together into a neat package. That isn't always a bad thing and in this books case I did enjoy the bumpy wild ride, even though I wanted more time to enjoy the scenery.
Gonna have to go with Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, and Hunter Schafer for the fan cast of the main trio. Euphoria ๐

I felt such a roller coaster of emotions reading this. Every time I thought I finally knew where this story was going, I was proven wrong.
Going into this, I was a little nervous because I had heard mixed things about the book, partially about the characters themselves. While I can understand why other people would feel the way they do, I loved all of the characters by the end of the book. This book did one other thing that I never expected to happen in a book: I felt emotional over the antagonistic trees. The end of the book really just hits you with a wave of emotions about the wood as a whole and wow I wasn't ready for that.
I really liked the way the story developed in this book too. The story kept changing in ways that kept me excitingly guessing what would happen next, and every time I thought I knew, something different happened instead (though maybe I'm just dumb lol). All of these developments kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole book and all I wanted to do was keep reading. The ending was incredibly satisfying to me at least, and I was really pleased with how things turned out for all of the characters. It felt pretty happy after the earlier pain in the story, but in a way that I at least didn't find to be to cheesy. This could also be because I am a massive sap who is weak for any endings that are at least somewhat happy. Regardless, I personally couldn't have asked for a much better ending.
I would have to give this 4.5/5 stars, but I'm rounding up because I loved it. This was a really good intro into this author's writing for me, and I'm really exciting to check out more from her in the future!

One again, im drawn in by one specific thing. Friendship between women where they will burn the world down for each other. Is this the main point of the book? No. Is this the relationship im supposed to care most about? Nope. But itโs the one that speaks to me.
