I'm on the fence on this one. I don't know if I actually enjoyed it or not. Like, it was just interesting enough for me to finish it but if you asked me what my favorite things about it are - well, I'm struggling.

Pros:
✨ - the setting is gorgeous and the prose is nice
✨ - one of the better time-loop time travel plots
✨ - murder mystery solved when no one was <i>trying</i> to solve it lol

Cons:
✨ - weird insta-love-ish romance; like it would've been cute if it weren't borderline creepy
✨ - weird love triangle fake tease that made me feel really bad for Mason
✨ - everything about the idea that

what essentially ended up being suicide

ended up being the answer to "the family curse"
✨ - the mixed genres all ended up feeling very mid when you look at them separately. Shallow romance, mediocre mystery, and an overly convoluted time travel plot.
