No notes absolutely perfect beautiful enchanting ALL OF THE ADJECTIVES .  I love this book so much and I’m punching 
 the wall because I have to wait for the sequel to come out. 

Very much enjoyed this! However, I do with the ending was different. It’s not a bad ending, just not how I would have preferred… no spoilers but I’d prefer another book over an odd epilogue

i'm so happy to say that i enjoyed the shit out of this book. i love all of the characters, especially marie and big bro damien. the story keeps me on my toes all the time. never once was i bored or felt it was dragging on too long. also, odile and marie? goals. big fan of the mlm wlw siblings. 

i would've rated this a 4.5 but i would sometimes find minor mishaps that were overlooked (e.g. the word "the" was missing in a sentence and the word "when" has a duplicate right next to it, so it's "when when", etc.)

overall, pretty fantastic for the first sapphic book i read (i know. i know.)

I loved this one. Odile was such a complex character. Sometimes I wanted to shake her and be like please look up the word gaslighting. I think that added to the enjoyment though the entire time I was like come on just trust one person. Slowburn was done correctly in this one. Watching Odile and Marie interact was perfect. The writing was great and read like a folktale. I enjoyed the mystery even if some of it was a bit predictable. In my opinion I thought the ending really landed and was a great culmination. Overall I loved it and look forward to anything this author writes.
