i know this book can be divisive but i really didn’t hate it that much. i found the story really intriguing and the main character cady was likeable at points. i did NOT expect the plot twist and it was good but it was definitely not a very lighthearted book. e lockhart’s writing style is very capturing, i really loved the sometimes poetic chapters and the mix of fairy tale like moments. although i sometimes struggle with their themes i do like to read lockhart’s books. also - mirren was my fave character .
