Okay. Okay. Okay. The first 100-200 pages were EXTREMELY hard for me to get through… there was a point that I really didn’t think I could keep going. There was SO much world building that my brain physically hurt. Soooo I decided to skip ahead and I am SO GLAD I did! Holy cow. The last 200 pages of this book had me in an absolute chokehold. I guess it wouldn’t be a SJM book if she didn’t shatter my world at the end of her books.

So so so in love with the character development in this. The plot twists?! Never saw them coming. There was moments I was literally screaming, laughing, and crying at the pages. Overall SJM does it again!!
