So much infodumping and info repeating. The beginning of the book is hard to get through, but if you can, it’s much easier to read. The characters and story were nice, but one character very much got the short end of the stick in terms of plot and development. It felt disappointing to read a book about four girls only for the aftermath to only detail three (and honestly, the third also barely got much detail). Very much a book not for me.
