What a great start to a series I think I'll end up adoring. The first 150ish pages were ROUGH, but I pushed through and found myself really invested in these characters. I'm surprised to say there isn't really a POV that I dreaded reading from - which is surprising from such multi POV story. My only real complaints are the rough start and lack of distinction between some of the characters... I also don't really know what any of them look like lol there's definitely a lack of physical descriptions in here so I've filled in a lot of gaps in my imagination. With that ending, I'm excited for book 2 and hoping for more female perspectives 🙏🏻
