I really enjoyed this book! The writing was great and the story itself was super intriguing upon reading the synopsis, the book was even better! I do wish that there was more to the ending as it was a little rushed, more perspective and just a little more to the story’s ending would have made it even better (no spoilers btw)! There are some things here and there alongside that, but overall this was a good read and I would definitely recommend this to other people who enjoy this genre! I look forward to reading any more of Clémence Michallon’s novels!

This is a rough book for sensitive readers, and nothing about the main character’s situation is likable, but this book is riveting and impossible to put down.
