This book is phenomenal! I couldn't stop listening, and I am bubbling over with excitement to read the next in the series.

This is a heartbreaking and raw story that shines a bright light on societal pitfalls, classism, consumerism, nepotism, and so much more. It is extremely well-written. The characters and their struggles feel so real. The twists in the plot blew me away. Just overall an amazing read.
