After all the discourse surrounding Lightlark on TikTok, I was pleasantly surprised! I read half of it in one day because I couldn't put it down, and the last quarter went just as quickly because it felt like every other chapter changed the information that Isla knew. I thought I knew what was going to happen, and I'm so glad I was wrong and the book kept me guessing!
