I have an unpopular opinion on this one 🫣 the concept was great and it started out interesting but the pace slowed down so much and I just wasn’t vibing with the characters. Definitely a disappointment for me.

This was so good I loved it! I enjoy this trope, but it’s also written really well! I think Lillie knowing Cody’s true identity pretty much from the beginning was something different from other books in this trope and I liked that.
