Wow, I don’t know where to start organizing my thoughts for this book. I love all of Margarita Montimore’s books and am always so excited for a new one! I devoured this one in a day. It was so vivid yet surreal - I want to see it as a Netflix series! The unsettling Project Understudy randomly pops into my head and still creeps me out, and the uncertain ending keeps my imagination reeling… which I love, because it’s not left wide open like an unsatisfying cliffhanger. It seems more realistic that the reader is unsure about everything at the end, just like Ramona and Grace.
