i really liked the writing style and the plot, and i cried over the deaths of two certain characters that i had formed a real attachment to.
i quite liked it overall, but there were some really unnecessary comments about character's weight and stuff? as if them being skinnier makes them better? and the descriptions of characters who weren't white just felt a bit off at times. plus it took me a while to get into it, although that's just a personal note. i also feel like i was way too excited to read this book because of the way booktok hyped it up and made it sound kinda different, so i ended up a little disappointed when i'd finished it.
