sydney and dol CARRIED! mixed up victor and eli’s hair colors for the ENTIRE book and didn’t notice until the last few chapters. only one or two awkward transitions or unnecessary moments; nothing crazy or unusual.

eli’s self harm scene was very poor in taste and could’ve been written better. a let down on schwab’s part.
