the explicit descriptions of an eating disorder, bullying, racism, and literally a predatory relationship made me uncomfy af but ig that's the reality of this world. i was going to hate the end but i'm kinda glad how it concluded? wish i saw what happened to other characters though cuz i feel like there were too many secondary ones that we shouldn't have to care like i needed more of Cassie but idk. felt bad for Jayhe but alas at least June's getting better ig? hope Bette will actually be a good person this time like pls don't pull the same shit on Gigi again 😤

This was a great ending to the duology.  I loved seeing how much the characters had changed between Tiny Pretty Things and this book, especially GiGi.  I also loved how much Bette was invested in figuring out what really happened to GiGi and who really did it.  The ending wasn't rushed, and each character's arc along with the whole story was wrapped up very nicely.
