What a great book!!! I used to read Holly Black when I was younger and now I remember why I always went back to her. Her writing is so beautifully descriptive and her characters have so much depth.

I will be a forever fan of Rupi. Such a pure soul in a dark world. There is something exceptional about the way she is able to articulate thoughts that we all have but can't seem to find the words for.

I was extremely happy that this book was longer and had more in depth sections than Milk and Honey. Kudos to Rupi for another masterpiece!

The first time I read this book I would have given it maybe a 3??? But this time it's 100% a 5 star book. Such a gripping story and the audiobook was an amazing companion with the book. After reading night circus and being extremely disappointed I needed a new "circus" tale to restore my faith in that setting. Love love love this book.

4.75! Good reads needs to give more options on the rating scale first of all. For this being my first Agatha Christie Book I'm floored!! Short and too the point but the ending still threw me for a loop! Highly suggest reading before you go to see the movie!

Quirky and cute. also extremely relatable and the ending was surprising to say the least. Nice quick read to shake things up.
