i enjoyed this book, the beginning was hard to get through, im not into boring intros and to me it felt boring. however, after i made it over the 25% mark i was HOOKED. the plot twists really kept me going, i hated all the characters, especially cat. i think cat is so judgemental and rude. trigger warning for mentions of abortion she’s really rude about that bit.
the plot twists well some of them i seen but most of them i was actually shocked that i didn’t see coming.
the ending was interesting, i feel like it’s very hard to end a book like this without adding a whole lot of trauma. this ending was good, i think it really wrapped up the characters and their lives.
my favourite character was william. he was just so… predictable. very silly man in a good way i suppose.
overall i actually would recommend this book besides my rating i think that’s just a personal thing that i rated it like that. could have been 4 stars if something WORSE happened in the book for me personally.
