This book, wow. It was so frustrating and exciting at the same time. I really did enjoy this book, but jesus, that’s two men that Nina has been with that Millie goes for, didn’t really like that story line, wish Nina and Enzo never got together if she was planning for Millie and Enzo to be together. Wendy was such a vile woman, the stuff she classed as abuse or mistreatment ???? It was hard to read. Besides that, the twists in this book left my jaw on the actual ground, I couldn’t put the book down ! Excited to read the next one.

this book could have been SO GOOD, i must say the plot twist was a bit shocking but i saw it coming towards the end, i didn’t love the ending and it was too much of a SLOW BURN

honestly one of the best books i’ve read, was an emotional rollercoaster which left me laughing and crying. i felt i really related to her and she made me feel extremely validated for the fears i had for the future. for all my girls in their 20s, this is such an important read for you! it helps you realise that it is genuinely going to be okay despite what you may be feeling now or whatever you’re going through. stop chasing to be loved! stop putting so much pressure on yourself! pls pls read this book
