The love story is not the main focus of the book seeing as it is not a romance and it is really barely there at all. Frankly, these girls have other, bigger things to worry about.
This is a horror story with a lot of body horror and murder so just be prepared. An infection has spread through the girls on an island and changes their bodies in terrible ways. It is a little Lord of the Flies esque in the way that have to fight for food and survival, but their bonds with each other are stronger.
I personally thought the ending was very satisfying and ended exactly how it needed too. However it is an ending that leaves interpretation to the reader so if you don’t like that don’t read this book.

I liked the characters and the idea of the Tox, but i think it couldve been better executed? Idk
Spoiler
like the Tox was just a parasite? I dont know about anyone else but i was expecting something a bit more complex. And how come the people at camp Nash couldnt spot that??? Didnt they test on 9 girls?? How could the scientists and doctors could not see that but some teen girls could?? I wanted more explanation for that tbhThe romance was less than i was expecting but i couldn't complain cos its sapphic romance and i can always apprieciate that
Yeah i dont know what else to say i did enjoy it though, would recomend for someone looking for YA horror
