Thoughts 💭
As a debut novel of an aspiring writer the premise of the book was good. The story line gave me more Young Adult genre vibes, however there were some explicit scenes that would have to be modified for YA. As a reader I would recommend more editing before publishing. I really enjoyed the setting and learning about some of the South African culture. It was a bit of a slow burn during different stages of the book, but I was highly impressed with the creativity and idea structure, especially with the impression that English is the author's second language. The book translated pretty well!
Spice: 🌶️🌶️
