I kid you not, I was almost about to "dnf" this book. I went into it pretty blind and as I was reading it I thought the premise was interesting and rather compelling but for some reason I felt rather bored. I wasn't really sure how the authors were gonna take the story considering it was about 400 pages. But I decided to continue due to how hyped the book was and because it was just sitting their on my "shelf". So I decided to give it another chance and I'm glad that I did because the story definitely picked up.

I think around page 130-150 is when my intrigue started to grow so when we got Daphne's POV I was a bit taken a back. But I trusted the process and I'm so glad I did because once we got Daphne's chapter I was HOOKED! I was eating this book up and it became soooo good! I loved it! Jackson's ending was a bit anticlimactic for me, but I'm pretty content with everything else. If you don't mind a slow burn type of book then I totally recommend this book. (Very triggering topics though, so please be careful).
