It was a good book. I enjoyed it. I liked the half retelling half what happened next trope of this book. The characters had flaws but they were nice.The secondary characters should have been more presents. I feel like it could have been shorter at time. Like there were some repetitions that weren’t useful. And I think some other part should have been more developed, like how the characters came to each decision. I didn’t like the fact that Leto cheated on her first love interest. Like I get the love triangle (not a fan), but if you want your main character to hesitate between two characters, don’t make her chose one and kiss the second two hours later. Also, the character being bi (or pan or queer, or whatever you choose to identify her) makes it like the author buys into the bi people are cheaters thing. And I was very uncomfortable with that. Again, she can hesitate between two, or even be poly. But if she hesitates, don’t make her cheat. And if she is poly, make her talk about it with her love interests.
