Going into this I knew that A.R.Torre wont disappoint and it didn't. Fulfilled all my expectations. 
I loved d multiple povs and how it alternated between d povs. The twist at the end left me a bit confused but I really enjoyed itt. Def one of my fav books and a very unique plotline. 
Def recommend! Actually anything by A.R.Torre, I highly recommend! 
The only book I haven't read by her yet is Every last secret should get to that asap.

I have very conflicting feelings abt this.... coz on one hand I really enjoyed the book and the story but on the other hand it was so boring and I didn't care whether most of the characters lived or died(ik it sounds rude im sorryy)

Also im pretty sure I skimmed through a bit of the book, coz I just wanted to see who the sniper was and the entire reason behind everything.
Which brings me to 'the reason', I kind of guessed it? But it wasn't like a few pages before it was actually revealed so I wasn't too mad abt that.

Overall I enjoyed my time reading this and the parts that kept me on the edge of my seat.

Ps: Cant wait to read AGGGTM!! Soooo excited for that onee
