This book had me surprisingly enthralled for 90% of it. I found the writing engaging and approachable, something a lot of YA books have, but it wasn’t so juvenile that it was just drivel. Something a lot of YA does struggle with. 

The ending however felt like a letdown.
SpoilerOur main character didn’t even dare to dream of the best case ending for her story… merely went with the shitty option.


And the love story was great till the ending as well.
Spoiler what a shallow ending… finding out a betrayal from her love interest, which was the only thing keeping her going till now, I’m the last five pages.


Decent read but the ending sucked all my joy out.
