I feel like this book is trying to cover too many things at once. which I totally applaud for its efforts but it does make everything feels rushed and kind of one note at the end. (

this, I feel was especially true with how the writer dealt with Margaux' gripes with her friends, which honestly felt really spedrun?

). 

Overall, I still enjoy most of the story even if pacing felt a bit slow and meandering at times.
