Really ended up loving this but DO NOT RECOMMEND the audiobook as it almost made me give up on the book completely. However, couldn’t give it 5 because Liam hurts my soul 😭

This might be my favorite book of the entire year. So good and absolutely perfect. I literally forgot I was listening to it at work and gasped at a part so loudly my coworker asked me what was wrong 😂

Did not see that twist coming. But I will say I struggled with this until the 25% mark. I really didn’t like the characters up until the added POV at the 25% mark, but then I thoroughly enjoyed!

Too rushed and because it’s a retelling, it was missing the things I loved about her other book, the twists and turns built out over time.

The last 10% was the only slightly scary part and even that wasn’t that terrifying compared to some of the other books he’s written. The rest was interesting fiction but not what I was totally hoping for from this.

Super enjoyed a lot of this. Many words I needed to hear. A few of the poems felt a bit repetitive or like repeats of past ones though.
