tbh i was doubting the book bc i couldn’t get into it for the first few pages but i forced myself to sit through this and i am not complaining. was literally on the edge of my seat every page, and i really, really love the characters and was instantly attached to them. 

teared up a bit with that cliffhanger, and i am still crying rn so i’m really looking forward to the next one!!
