I seriously cried so hard reading this, finished it in a single sitting because of how good it is, but I must say it was a little triggering

Everything is written so well, you truly feel everything the main character goes through. I was so immersed in this book and it’s a short read too. Totally worth your time.

Your typical YA crime book, great for those who love books that constantly keep you wondering and on edge. If you’re the type of person who can’t read a book where the characters aren’t well written, this isn’t for you. Even for someone like me who isn’t focused on the characters at all found the MC a little off putting. But honestly, it does the job of entertaining you and if you want to see some real character development and etc. then you should tolerate the characters for the first book and read the second and third.
