Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I had incredibly high hopes for this book and unfortunately was disappointed. As always, characters are incredibly important to my reading experience. Dani was a fun character, and I was literally obsessed with Nox. I would have liked more of their relationship; however, this story focuses on the sisters. Eden is quite literally one of the most intolerable characters I’ve ever read. Our bad guys were stereotypical. There was literally no linear character growth for the main characters.

The writing felt as though I was reading a lot while being told almost nothing. The POV switches mid-sentence forced me to go back and re-read things constantly. It was jarring and pulled me out of the story. The representation and diversity were incredibly well done. It addressed real things that affect bisexual people and Latinx people. In this writing execution though, they get almost swept under the rug by how frustrating reading this book was.
