I did not expect to be so blown away by this book! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, and I was drawn in really fast - which does not happen often for me. It also was surprising and poignant in shocking ways, sad but also very meaningful.

I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. I definitely liked/hated the fact that you could feel all the emotions that Romy was feeling. I did get a bit confused with the concept of how the communication worked in the book but it did not distract from the plot. The MC gives me anxious girl vibes that is extremely lonely that at points you want to shake her and say think straight. However, the foreshadowing is subtle that when the twist happens it all clicks.
