this book was honestly the best I’ve read all year so far. I devoured it. the first-person witty tone made me so interested. the characters were all complex and fleshed out and they all had moments to shine. the slow burn 😭😭 I love them. I have no idea what the sequel could possibly be, but I’m interested in finding out for sure.

the only thing I might say is about the ending, how it all got wrapped up into a little bow. not sure how convinced I am that it was that easy, but it’s not enough to take away from how much I enjoyed it.

REREAD UPDATE: you know what? this book was somehow better the second time. ignore that little bit at the end of the first read review, i don’t agree with that anymore, the ending was perfect as it was. now i’m finally moving on to painted devils!!
