I loved this book. The first half was perfectly amazing. The last half was amazing as well, but a little cheesy and predictable. That doesn’t make a book bad though, this was a really amazing book. It makes the reader look at the differences between right snd wrong and dissect the definitions of justice and vengeance. It’s fiction, but so many women can relate to the emotions flowing through this book which is what made it so amazing. It’s not too graphic, since it’s y/a and the characters are high school characters, but it is really emotional so check trigger warnings.
