The build-up and plot was giving from start to the mid-point but the ending and resolution felt slightly rushed. Looking forward to what’s coming next though especially with the reveal!

It was fine but the characters did not make me love them they were very generic.

The character interactions are just *chef's kiss.* I cannot say enough good things about this book, and how quickly I read through it because I did not want to put it down.

joselien's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 47%

Ik heb geen zin om het book opnieuw op te pakken het pakt me niet echt

4.5* I was sucked into the story all the way through, and super interested in finding out what would happen next the whole time. (Hopelessly in love with its the main character as well). I must say that the first half had me mostly excited for what would happen later in the book, while the second half truly had me excited for right in that moment. So I enjoyed the second half more than the first half. Probably because it was a lot of story and character building, so much that I sometimes got confused as to what was going on and who was who. Very excited to read the sequel tho! The ending of this one had me feeling all kinds of messed up hahaha.

This book has it ALLLLLL
