i am FUMING
the first half of this book was so scary i was not expecting a YA thriller to make me scared to turn my lights off.
the second part was the most bonkers plot but i lowkey enjoyed it - almost gave heist vibes ?? it was defo a bold choice & im not too mad about it but some parts were dragged out wayyyy too much.
the last 2 chapters of this books were completely unnecessary imo and they really annoyed me.
pip and ravi were infuriating and acting like they shared a singular brain cell way and had me screaming at them. i get it ACAB yes but after a point you’re just being dumb and self destructive.
