i actually dnf’d this book, i only marked it as read because i was 73% in and the hours i spent reading it can never be gotten back. this book was a drag and painful to read, i wasn’t excited to flip to the next page or to know what happened next. i have genuine, deep seated beef with the entire book because the premise was cute but it fell so flat and i resorted to skimming through the pages when i was halfway but struggled to even do that. the world building was sorely lacking and i’m sure the plot line didn’t know what it was let alone the reader. the main character had next to no personality and didn’t stand out in anyway. i felt no attachment to the characters like i usually would when i’m immersed in a good book, they were all forgettable. this book was boring, that’s what it was, boring.

“It is a dangerous thing to unbelieve something only because it frightens you.” 

I grew up reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and I have to say this book reached every expectation, I think Lewis would've been proud. Such an amazing writing I could picture myself in Wonderland once again and THE PLOT omg, it left me aching, I knew the ending and dared to hope 
(like the fool that I am) damn, I will not be able to hear the word fool every again...thanks Marissa, I will be reading more of your books ma'am bc I do love me some pain.

I can't stop crying as I write this review, which I will have to keep short because if I went into detail and explained why I gave this novel the rating it has it would enter the spoiler zone. If you like forbidden love stories, a mystery that gets bigger with each chapter and an original and fresh world, I highly recommend this novel. Just make sure you have a box of Kleenex nearby. You'll thank me.
