The first half of the book was really everything I expected to happen.
Then the mid point hits and both storylines are turned upsidedown. One in a fully unexpected way and the other in the most disturbing way possible.
There were two twists later on that I easily predicted, but the last chapter took me fully by surprise.
I love that the author put in a blatant Beauty and the Beast quote into one of her chapters. I loved the Romeo and Juliet style tragedy. I loved how healing after grief can take you by surprise.
I am concerned I'm being queer baited. I would love for a good bi rep for a main character 💖
