5.0
Well, if that isn't the spiciest book I've ever read.
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
All jokes aside, I wasn't expecting to cry while reading this book but dang, it got me in my feels. I was familiar enough with the plot due to seeing so many versions of it, including the most recent adaption, and while the adaptions are quite faithful, there was nuance that was omitted and I appreciated the journey of reading this to find those little bits.
