I had fun reading this one. It was a rollercoaster that’s for sure. There were some ups and downs with the way this was written, very simplistic but managed to keep me interested.
The characters were what drove this story forward and what kept me reading but only to a certain point. Then i got invested in the story and that was what made me stay to the end. I started to lose interest I think halfway thru but the book took a turn a couple chapters later and i was sucked back in.
The greif and complexity within each character was written really well. It had me crying at 2am for like an hour 😭❤️🩹
I was eating up the drama and meltdowns lol. Got sooo frustrated with some characters but also loved it.
The fmc has certain tendencies which I thought weren’t fully fleshed out or addressed properly.
The mmc was good and I liked him but he just was a bit bland to me I’m sorry.
I can see where the comparisons are coming from between this and MPU and it’s there but only *very* slightly.
