I'm not sure what I was expecting from this book based on the back but I felt like I was constantly waiting for the two main characters to actually become rivals. Due to the inherent power dynamic between them, it never felt like they were truly on equal grounds to the point of being rivals. It felt more like Jada was constantly trying to get to that level while the systemic issues at play kept getting in the way, which makes sense but it wasn't what I thought I was getting.
