This book really did take my attention by storm. It was a fun read, a good premise for a story, and characters that made me feel all sorts of emotions. 

Isla is relatable. She cares deeply about her friends, she wants to do well by the people she trusts, and she changes throughout the story. While she does some questionable things, she also does some honorable things. 

The first part of the book really sets up and provides good context for the second part of the book. The second part has a lot of action, but I don’t think it would have been meaningful without it.
