surprisingly, i liked this. i honestly wasn’t expecting to, as many extremely hyped up books on booktok turn out to be not for me.
Jude might be my new <u>favorite</u> FMC. she’s everything. i love her. my queen.
as for the other characters, though… i hate them all except Vivi and Oak (he’s the sweetest).
now, Cardan. i am the type of person who will <u>never</u> forgive nor forget when people wronged me. so, if someone treated me this way, and then <i>wanted</i> me… yeah, i’m sorry, but no.
the whole vibe of the book was very unique (to me, at least). it made me feel like i was living in one of the fairytale worlds i read about as a child. it felt very <i>cozy</i> to me. i loved it.
the plot was lacking in the beginning, but about 150 pages in it got interesting. although, the plot twists and reveals at the end were my favorite and made the book for me.
