I had heard a lot about this book on TikTok and YouTube, so I wanted to read it but I didn't know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised by the writing style, and the structure of the book as a whole. I love a good unreliable narrator and Cady absolutely embodies that. It shapes the whole narrative and is such a cool storytelling device. I was hooked from the start and was shocked by the twist at the end. Really enjoyed this one!
