• Diverse cast of characters? No

4.0

I can understand the hype behind this one. I really enjoyed it as a standalone. Im not sure if I want to read the 2nd book because this one really felt like it wrapped up where it needed to.

I had seen many tik toks about this book so I had high expectations. I kinda already had an idea of how it ended going into it. However I felt the last 50 ish pages of the book felt extremely rushed, whereas the rest of the book dragged on. It took me soooooo long to get through the first half of the book because of how slow it was. If the book’s pace was a lot faster, I probably would’ve given it 5 stars. Overall worth the read tho.
