The first few pages made me think this book wouldn’t be up my alley. Cut to me obsessively reading it. Really enjoyed it.

enjoyable read. i enjoyed the switching focus. i wish some characters got more of a conclusion. despite being a little predictable, very  enjoyable read

Too many perspectives explored, I wish they built on the main characters relationship more so I could’ve actually felt something for them. No closure for the other characters included either

Not a big fan of romance, and while i found the writing to be lovely and poetic at times, the story didn't necessarily move me. I was please to finish the book but at times it was a struggle to continue.
