fast-paced
not rating this, since it feels unfair to rate a book talia hibbert has intentionally made “mysteriously disappear”. i absolutely understand why she did that. it’s a bit problematic, surprisingly dark, and very melodramatic in a way that reminds me of a wattpad story (if a decently written one) and not what i’d expect from having read her more recent books. it’s also rough around the edges and you can tell it’s from very early in her career. i absolutely did eat this the fuck up, though. it still has her charm and early versions of some of my favorite elements of her more recent and polished writing.
weirdly enough, this has made me more confident calling talia hibbert a favorite author, since i can trust that i’ll still enjoy even her worst works.
