I really enjoyed this. I really liked Happi and how she struggled and felt guilty. There was random povs that I was kind of confused why they were there. Like they made sense especially one later one but it was kind of weird. As the the second half of the book I was a little shocked because I had that thought but I was like well no way it that going to happen because it was I thought out of left field for this type of book usually but I liked it. I do wish the epilogue was a little different and we got to see some interactions.
