I love Aiden Thomas' work and Avi Roque is such an excellent narrator!
This book had all the feels and the big reveal near the end really came as a shock and... I'm still processing it really.

I love the way aiden Thomas writes! I know that with a couple more books of practice he’ll be a really masterful writer, and I will read every single one they write.

dark emotional slow-paced

i wanted to like this book. i liked the author's other book. i.... did not like this book.


(YA, fairy tale retelling).  Honestly, this one didn't super work for me. The protagonist felt immature (but like she was supposed to seem mature) and the story felt fairly predictable. Usually I like YA but this felt... too YA. I didn't like that the MC cut herself off from her best friend for the whole book and that that was portrayed as the right choice, and though most of the characters in the book didn't like/are scared of cops, it still felt like the BOOK likes cops.
