So if I had read this as a teen during my twilight phase I would have been totally obsessed - and as it goes now, being 28, I still liked a good chunk of it. However, the fmcs being yet again more teenage girls in one way or another who get essentially groomed by older and very toxic men? Gross. You could tell this was written from a whack ass religious perspective and it really took away from the actually genuinely cool story beats that do actually exist in this book. Oh well. Get well soon, Steph.
