I saw the hype of this book all over Bookstagram and wanted to pick it up based on all of the advertisements and because the cover is divine! I want to caution people to please look at the Trigger and Content Warning for this book before you read it!
This book was written so well!! All the sentences were done to perfection and you can tell the author is highly skilled. The syntax is elegant and I want to check out more of the author’s works!
The story was enjoyable and I enjoyed reading it. I like how the story went from present to past format, where there were even some chapters that were past journal entries. I really enjoyed this book and am finding it difficult to express how much I enjoyed it!
I gave this book a 4 out of 5 stars because there was something missing. I have no idea what was missing or whatever, but there was something that was missing to make this a 5 star read. I still really enjoyed this book and it is definitely a high 4 stars. There are Trigger and Content Warnings, so I recommend this book to those that are able to read this.
