The mythological aspects are the best part of this book. The way it's written, though, makes it really hard to separate the visions from the reality, which I'm sure is the point, but it was jarring to read. I'm also just really burnt out on mean girls, so that made it harder to enjoy. I did not like Huong's friends or Jolie's ex-friends. 

This is a slow-moving book with lots of bullying, which is not a fun combination for me. I loved certain parts and was so annoyed by others. 

Thank you to NetGalley and publisher for the opportunity to read and review.
