i loved this story so much but it did have a few flaws: for the first 100 ish pages i was bored out of my mind, it was so so slow and the relationship within the story felt so forced and unnecessary? the romance didn’t feel important at all, neither did the relationship itself. you couldn’t really feel the connection between the two, it just sort of felt like the author said “oh btw, they like each other, look they’re kissing now” and it didn’t really work for me. this is also targeted towards the younger ya which i didn’t know going in.

but!!!! sapphics toppling the patriarchy >>>> and i adored the ending, the ending itself gives you a 5 star feeling but you can’t just 5 star it when the rest of the book wasn’t as good? ahhh i still loved it but i’m conflicted
