4.0

A full and extremely rich novel that touches on themes of betrayal, heartbreak and loss but most of all the love that’s consistent in between the lines. 

The book is split in 4 parts where we learn ab each character and location via the protagonists POV. Her worlds: the jungle (Back Woods), the City (London) and the concrete jungle where dreams are made of (NYC) are prime locations for her evolution, which reveal diff parts of her at diff moments of her life. 

Truly a well deserved number NY times bestseller! I finished the book in less than a week (mostly bcos my library due date was coming up) and honestly, Miranda kept me on my toes the whole way through. 

So glad I picked this up! Highly highly recommend
