Overall, I think this book was okay. There were definitely some things I think could've been improved. For example, the plot twist wasn't surprising. I knew where the story was heading, and nothing shocked me the way a book like this should. There definitely were, however, parts that unnerved me (in a good way). I think Charlotte Seager portrayed the concept, that we never really know who we're interacting with on the internet, perfectly. And the thought that the internet plays such a large role in our lives, and that this actually happens to people, adds a whole new level of weariness. I think Seager portrayed this aspect very well.
I also like that we see both sides of the story. We see Chloe who's being stalked, and we also have the perspective of Amber who is a bit of a stalker herself. I really enjoyed this duality, and think it enhanced the story, and made it much more realistic. I left this book feeling slightly underwhelmed and disappointed as I guessed every plot twist that was going to happen, but there were some good elements to the book.

This was simply a heart warming read, I absolutely loved the four sisters: Meg, Jo, Amy and Beth. This book follows them through childhood and into adulthood. Their lives end perfectly, and I'm slightly sad that it's finished
— it was a 2.5☆ for majority of the book, but the ending boosted it up
honestly, era 2 is just not for me :( i don't like the Western vibe, i generally dislike detective/crime stories, i'm not fond of the humour (this entire book is filled with that Shallan/Lift type of humour and it actually makes me wanna die), i'm not as emotionally invested with the characters as i'd like to be
i didn't hate all of it, though. i enjoyed all of the little connections to the original trilogy, and i reallly liked the political aspect to this book (sanderson in his marx & engels era <3). i feel like the last 75ish pages were quite reminiscent of the tone/atmosphere of the original mistborn trilogy, and it was so nostalgic for me

2.5 ☆ - very conflicted. it was fine, it just didn't do anything for me
