This book was very captivating, from the main characters to the evolving plot following them. I really enjoyed how the author slowly develops Ji-won’s character over the course of the book, and shows how she’s changing as a person! Great story.
But I feel like the ending came together almost too perfectly. While it was satisfying, it also felt like there were small plot gaps, like Geoffrey having the knife with Ji-won’s fingerprints all over it. Overall still a great read though!
