Ok. So definitely a loooot of trigger warnings..
This was fun, very hard to read at times, very cruel, but super readable!
Definitely would recommend if you can stomach it~
The writing tough.. I don't know, something felt off. Like she would say something and later that was not actually the case, and the again, and it happended too many times throughout the book for my taste. Maybe it has a reason why? dk.
Also, like.. I don't think I really know what she is trying to convey with these books, but I guess I'll have to wait to finish the series!
Solid 4 stars!
