WARNING // Minor spoilers like baby ones I'm sorry 🤗

I really loved this book so much, the writing as a whole was so beautiful it was like a feast for my eyes and some of the descriptions/metaphors I re-read over and over again because they were so beautiful. 

Loved the characters and the development (well Scarlett’s - I’m assuming we will see the others in the rest of the trilogy). 

Like in the beginning Scarlett really bugged me
with how obsessed she was with her sister and getting married and all that palava I actually (stupidly) thought she was quite boring and I understand because of her trauma and stuff and in reflection I was probably abit too harsh on her just because of my views on marriage but that doesn’t  mean that other peoples are wrong // I saw on TikTok one of the characters from little women? Say  something similar and thought she has a frickin point actually)  and seeing how brave and resilient she was in the end and strong for standing up to her father and going after her actual dreams (adventure and stuff)
was truly amazing. 👏🏼👏🏼

Even though I loved this book and it didn’t really have many faults but it’s just not quite 5*for me and I can’t figure out why ☹️

As you can tell from my rambling I am not a writer but I hope my review was helpful 
(I also don’t know if I’ve used the spoiler tags properly so sorry in advance)
