3.5

i would say it started off really well. the first half of the book kept me engaged and i was genuinely very interested in the plot. it’s quite unique. I liked many aspects of it however there were other aspects i didn’t like, which is why it’s only rated 3.5 stars. 

I liked jinn’s character a lot more although there were some dialogue that just didn’t make sense for her. Like as a character who is not very online or stays to themselves a lot, how does she even know what a ‘meet-cute’ is? and personally a pet peeve of mine is a pet name being used wayyyy too much, which is what jinn does. that’s basically the cons. 

aisla’s character is okay? personally i didn’t resonate with her so i couldn’t connect much to some things she was thinking. what i will say tho, is girl needs to STAND UP! like i get insta love, but jinn legit tries to kill her and the next couple of days she’s fantasising over her and already joking abt it? 

anyways, the ending conflict also went by way too fast in my opinion. only like 2-3 chapters? wish that part was longer. overall, a solid book and would recommend for some.
