At long last, my torment is over. I didn’t like this book from the start and I should have DNF’d but I have heard so many rave reviews so I persevered. One month and three thousand outfit descriptions later, I’m finally done with this book and I can officially say this series is not for me!

The characters? Frustratingly flawed to the point of exhaustion, but somehow you can’t stop rooting for them. It’s like watching a glamorous train wreck with poetic narration that hits deep. The toxic romance and drama feel both maddening and addictive, leaving you torn between screaming at the characters and turning the next page. Despite the mess, the emotional depth and vivid descriptions make it unforgettable. I’m excited to continue this series and seeing these characters develop. Also guys please what was that ending? Put my heart back together just to rip it apart and shatter it to pieces AGAIN?!

i feel sick. need a minute to catch my breath but also need more immediately.

4.5 ⭐ bc the plot did feel repetitive in the second half but my god.
