Okay so I did like this one, I really did.
I honestly didn’t really feel all that connected with Millie and I think that’s partly due to the fact that we don’t really get to know her until nearly the end of the book. We don’t know who she is or what landed her in prison or why she did the things that she did, so I never fully developed a good enough connection with her.
The whole story was just a bunch of gaslighting and although the twist was good, I wouldn’t say it was off the charts or as wild as everyone else says it is. But that’s just my opinion 🤷🏻♀️
Nina was absolutely insufferable. I couldn’t stand her character, even reading her POV chapters I still didn’t care lmao!! Sorry not sorry 😂
