I have given this book ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5. At times, I liked it. It was an easy read. The writing was decent. It flowed well. At times, it also aggravated me. I didn’t enjoy most of the characters (Briar was the best one,by far. Alix made me cringe). I couldn’t make sense of the racial comments. The main incident happened in the first 15 pages of the book. I was just puzzled by it all.

Here’s what had helped me to come to terms with it...looking at it in a satirical way. Once I saw this as a satire, I could accept it. But guess what - I don’t enjoy satires because I am way too literal of a person. It definitely didn’t live up to my own hype.
