Reasons to Bump This Up On Your TBR:
You read purely for entertainment, like flowery language full of metaphors, teen dystopia will romantic sub-plot.

Reasons to Bump This Down On Your TBR (more in content warnings):
If you’re not into first person POV or in search for a plot with substance. FMC was inconsistent in thoughts vs actions. What was that ending?? It just abruptly stops and should’ve ended a couple of chapters before imo.

˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ Extras ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚
Tears shed? No
Spice? More sweet than spicy, this is Y/A after all
Happy Ever After? Ends on semi-positive note, to be continued…
Cliffhanger? Yes and no. (This is book 1 in a series but honestly easily DNFd)
