I freaking love this book.
Firstly, our FMC is funny, tenacious and takes no shit.
The two male love interests are both great and I enjoyed the opposing personalities and the way all 3 main characters came together so perfectly.
The plot also gripped me from beginning to end. While there are some important underlying messages, it wasn’t preachy, it was just thoroughly enjoyable .. and the final plot twist is just mind blowing, some of the others you could see coming but that one got me.
Plus chrysalis - basically mechanical Pokémon… what’s not to love here
