I’ve not picked up a book in a while and this one had me keen to continue which is always a plus. The ending was rushed, too much so, and there were some strange decisions made about how to tie off the loose ends. Seems strange for our protagonist to take the back seat for so much of the ending, given the subject. And I’m not a fan on the awkward love triangle? Line? Comparison thing going on with her decision making as it seemed a little too on the nose. But overall, the premise is interesting, the buildup is engaging and then of course you have to know how it ends.

I found this was a really interesting read and didn’t want to put the book down!! The only issue was that I found the ending was rushed, and a lot of things were brushed over so briefly!
