I’ve been looking forward to this since it was first announced and it didn’t disappoint! I’ve read and thoroughly enjoyed Ann Liang’s other works. I’ve always found it difficult to put down her books once I’ve started on them and the same goes for this one! Although slow at some parts, I thought the story was very well written and takes you on an emotional rollercoaster. Liang’s a fantastic writer and is shown through her complex characters and their relationships with each other; making you contemplate which side should you really root for. Even though it was heart wrenching, I really enjoyed the book and was invested in the story and characters. I am looking forward to see what Liang writes next!
