FAVORITE QUOTE/QUOTES
In this nest Juliette had woven out of broken bones and broken promises.
A LITTLE ABOUT THE BOOK/HOW DID IT MAKE ME FEEL
I was recommended this book based on its angst. I love a book that will make me feel gutted. And this book is full of angst. What I struggled with was following all the ballet stuff. And it threw me off and made it really hard for me to get through it. I actually struggle with book with lots of world building but that usually happens in fantasy. But this one was hard to keep up with it also had quite a bit of politics in it and that also is something I struggle. I usually avoid books with politics in them.
WHAT I LOVED ABOUT THE CHARACTERS
I loved their brokenness. And I love how they come together at the end.
WHAT I LOVED ABOUT THE BOOK
I think it was the characters discovering the truth about themselves and each other. And then finding forgiveness and love again.
MY FAVORITE PART- IF IT IS NOT TOO SPOILERY
The reunification.
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE
I did not enjoy being so lost to the "bigger story". But I know that is me thing
TROPES
second chance romance, sapphic
