I read this for my sister and it’s pretty standard YA. I feel like it’s definitely not well written enough to deserve the hype it has but the story was still enjoyable and I liked some of the characters. i did predict a plot twist from like 40 pages into the book though, so it definitely wasn’t the most surprising novel. all the plot holes at the end were also a choice but oh well, ig you can just publish anything and people will still read it. If you don’t really want to think at all, this book may be fun for you— but don’t have high expectations for it or you won’t enjoy it.
3/5 stars.
