i have so much i want to say about this book.

i really liked the first half or so, but once we got to the big twist it all seemed to take a downturn & i didn't even care how it ended. enjoyable & fast-paced but nothing too special.

[02/02/25] rating adjusted to 3 stars - looking back on it i think i just rated anything i only mildly disliked four stars LMAO

writing was a bit stilted & plot all over the place. it also switched povs quite a bit so i couldn't quite connect with the characters the way i wanted to, but i would be lying if i said i didn't have fun
