hmmm, not sure how to feel about this one.
while this book on a craft level is good, it had a fast paced plot, likeable characters and easy yet pretty writing, i just couldn't connect with the story.
the plot was very engaging and had good pacing, i think the short chapters really made the plot never dull and always moving forward. i really enjoyed this.
i liked all the characters, especially violet as i did find her the one with the strongest personality. all of them have their own unique character and an end goal they wanted to reach and i think more fans will enjoy them much more than i did.
i felt the romance subplot was slightly, slightly forced and it wasn't my favorite part of the story which really disappointed me. yk what i really enjoyed though?
hinnah and violet's friendship! i loved the platonic bond they had with each other, they had amazing chemistry and i just felt a stronger connection to their friendship.
i have nothing much to say about the writing. it wasn't corny or dry and it was very easy to read and well crafted. i enjoyed seeing jaigirdar's experimentation with 3rd person writing as i'm usually more familiar with her 1st person writing from her previous books.
overall, despite me not being way too attached to the story, i think fans of the author will enjoy this much more than i did and it will definitely be a favorite for some!
