I read this book back in 2016 and was confused to see this book blew up on TikTok in 2022??
Idk a lot of people have strong feelings about this book, I remember reading it for the first time and I was flabbergasted: the plot twist, the writing style. But I was like 12?? It’s a pretty disturbing and sad book but it’s y/a so idk why people expect it to be great.
Personally I didn’t quite get the whole point when I read it for the first time, I didn’t understand the ending and overall was pretty much confused for the most part, but reading it now I cried. It’s not the best book I’ve ever read but it’s decent quick read the plays with your head. Nice.

Very teeny, very YA, but so so quick and easy to read and addicting, I couldn’t put this down. I Needed to find out what happened, and the reveal was so perfectly done and I didn’t see it coming at all, it absolutely broke me!
I loved the writing style, it was simple but worked so well for the story being told, and Cadence’s personality was so clear in the way it was written, and made the reveals we got so much better.

However, I didn’t feel that I really knew the characters. I knew what Cady felt, but I didn’t know any of their interests and true motivations beyond their love for each other. This made it difficult for me to be engaged in the book.
