slow start, the entries were much more interesting than the narrativa chapters, but it picks up the pace pretty well, one of the only books with an happy epilogue that’s actually good

i read probably over three quarters of this book in one sitting because it was SO ADDICTIVE

characters 10/10. plot 10/10. plot twists 10/10. i came into this thinking i was spoiled so had low expectations but turns out i was half wrong and even if i knew it wOULDNT HAVE MATTERED BECAUSE THIS BANGED. no words truly 

(also blushing like a mad man at ravi singh) 💓💓💓

I would’ve given the 5/5 if the plot twist of

Spoiler

Elliot’s kidnapped girl

wasn’t as predictable as it was.

Sorry for my bad English, it’s not my first language.
