I tried to push through this book. However the info dumping and the cringy attempt at making Alice seem like a menace made it hard.

This was my first book at the Forty Thieves and I did very much enjoy it. I thought that the story flowed well and liked that it was from two different perspectives. I thought it was a little slow at times; though, I still flew through it. None of the characters were likable IMO and I wish the ending had taken a bit more time.

This book was tough for me. It took me a bit over 50 pages to really click with the writing and it moved pretty slowly for the first half of the novel. I also felt like some trigger warnings were really necessary, for sexual assault and a somewhat forced adoption. There were some continuity issues with dates that could’ve used some editing too. Overall, the story was interesting, but it’s not a book I’d pick up again.

allielong19's review against another edition

There were storyline inconsistencies. The writing was awful. I just did not like it. I tried, I just couldn’t get into it.
