This a wonderful portrayal of POTs, even if you have 'flaws' that can see you portrayed as weak, like the dizziness, you can actually be the most fierce of all.

This had so many things about it that I really liked but somehow I just wasn't as into this as I should have been. There was amazing feminist work, female friendships, spies and deceptions, and a hint of romance with some TRULY AMAZING disability rep. Yet... I think I just didn't fully connect with any of the characters. They were all decent characters but I wasn't particularly loving any of them.
The POTS rep was great and you could tell it was written by someone who has POTS. It was really great to read about someone facing something so chronic and learning to adapt to it. It wasn't so much about overcoming her disability, it was just learning to work her body in a way that suited her. It was great.
I loved the romance hint and even though I knew what the outcome would be there was still a part of me that was rooting for them.
I would definitely read more from this author and think this was a great debut.

Adored this book! I learned from this book and it gave me all the feels. I was a little disappointed that one of the twists was that the school her dad sent her to is not a finishing school but a Musketeer school. I feel like a lot of YA, female led books are centered on special schools where they learn how to be both desirable and badass. I somewhat wished to know what would’ve unfolded if she had followed her original plan and made friends along the way. However, the friendships and the representation felt real (not forced) and we maybe only got a couple of cringey lines about “but I underestimated you because YOU’RE A GIRL” which normally consume these books. It was a joy to read and I definitely want more books like this!
