I think if the ending had been a bit different this would have easily been a 5 star for me. A really interesting and captivating story but with a slightly rushed ending. I felt a little disappointed

Really unsure as to what my thoughts on this book are. Genuinely not sure if I liked it or not? I think there were parts I hated and parts I didn’t mind and then one or two parts that I really enjoyed. The fallout of all of the characters interacting with one another was very well done and gave a really great pay off. It felt like it made all the uncomfortable or dull parts worth it?
