“I hope you don’t expect fairness from me, Alina. It isn’t one of my specialties.”
The book had a lot of typical YA tropes, but I enjoyed it and it was a quick read.
While the plot was a bit predictable and cliché at times, I’m still interested in reading the next book in the series.
In addition to that there are a few intriguing characters.
Graphic: Emotional abuse, Gaslighting, and Toxic relationship
Moderate: Animal death
Minor: Death of parent
