"Nirrim, I can't be good to you"
"Then be bad"
I loved this book so much. The romance between Sid and Nirrim made me feel so many feelings I can't even describe. The way they met, the falling in love,...
I really enjoyed the plot as well. It deals with the topic of emotional manipulation/abuse in a way that gives me very much mother gothel from "tangled" vibes. There's also the whole, kind of dystopian ish, political situation which i really hated but loved the way it was dealt with. There's this thing the people Nirrim grew up with would say every time someone asked why something is a specific way. They'd say everything is as it is because it's always been that way.
I tought the way the whole story was told, including the writing style, was really good (it has short chapters too which is a preference of mine) and I loved seeing Nirrim grow and realize things about her life she didn't see were wrong before.
I'm still not over the ending though, waiting for the second book to come out was the worst thing i would really recommend everyone to make sure they can get it before they finish this one.
