I did enjoy a majority of this book… but Amy’s whole arc with her dad just was a miss for me.

Sure, the yelling. Sure, the ‘Aha’ moment. But… freakin giving him a hug as you’re pulling out your inner psychiatrist and sobbing?? As someone with an emotionally abusive father, uh- no thanks.

Loved the spice, loved the baby queer learning about herself (which  👀)… didn’t love 90% of the third act.
