going into this book, my hopes were high. unfortunately, my hopes were crushed once i delved into the book. now, hold on! hear me out! haley dennings is a phenomenal writer. i found myself giggling and twirling my fingers as i was reading. my favorite aspect of the book is how hayley navigated the forced proximity between elise and layla. that was executed very well! in terms of plot and character development, this is where the book lost me. halfway through the book, i found myself bored. nothing was happening in the plot that shocked me or moved me. at times, it felt as if the story was being rushed. there are a lot of gaps that i'm still confused about. towards the end of the book, a few plot twists arised but none of the twists shocked me. they felt forced. i will be tuned into the next book to see how the relationship between elise and layla develops. this is a solid 3/5 stars.
