A few thoughts:
🩷 My pick of favourite author for 2025. The way Scrivenor writes is so captivating, & the descriptive way they capture thoughts & feelings is so clever.
🩷 Great build up. Lots of anticipation. Ending fell a bit flat for me though. I knew a twist was coming, it was all feeling a bit too smooth, but it wasn’t what I expected & maybe it wasn’t how *I* wanted it to end.  
🩷 Still a great read, super easy & I managed to finish it in a day.
