Très bon bouquin, un thriller pour adolescent bien écrit.🌈 

Il aborde aussi des sujets importants

comme les violences conjugales, les relations toxiques et l'homophobie ou encore le deuil

.❗

On y retrouve aussi de la représentation LGBTQ+ 🏳️‍🌈, le main character étant lesbienne.

couldn't put it down which has been more unusual for me in recent years. really connected with the protagonist and her struggle felt real and not at all performative just for the sake of this story. I'm sure I'll revisit this book

3.5

pretty nice actually
I expected this book to be bad because I didn't like the writer's poetry so I was being unfair but I actually do like this book.
however I'm still not compelled to give this a 4 star because I feel like it wasn't there yet but I feel like Brown is doing pretty great already as a writer
it was nice reading this book because the teenagers are relatable to an extent or at least Sydney's emotions are. admittedly, don't really love the characters so Leo is probably the best one
but yea pretty nice
