Well that was sure an experience for me.

I'm gonna just say that after finishing this book, I do not know how to really feel about it. Like don't get me wrong, I can't think of any flaws about it write now except possibly I wasn't super wild about the writing style. Like everything connected well and the whole story came together at the end great. Valente slayed with this but I just don't think it was for me. Like when I got to the twist I was more upset that I didn't figure it out earlier
especially as someone who spent their who K-12 career being in a private christian school.
I would totally recommend this to someone who wants a good, quick book to read but I just don't think fit with me. Valente didn't eat but she did nibble a bit so I'll possibly give her another chance.

<b>Final Score:</b> 6.5/10
