alright, i was shocked at how much i loved this. to put it bluntly, i loathed boy parts, but i wanted to give eliza clark a second chance — and i was pleasantly surprised.
this book had incredible worldbuilding and the characters were fleshed out, including the journalist. this is a novel about the exploitation of tragedy and the cruelty of teenage girls, and how often things can be blown out of proportion by pure hysteria. i’m looking forward to clark’s next release.
