I was excited to read this to get back into reading. But, I was pretty let down. I debated many time stopping the book, but decided to push through. Sally Thorne isn’t the best writer, but this is hands down my least favorite book of hers. The story is weird and the more you think about it it’s pretty disgusting as well. The amount of times it refers to the corpses penis is also very odd, Sally is a freak and has let it be know.

The premise was definitely interesting, but the execution, not as much. Sally Thorne of one of the booktok famous authors with The Hating Game and thought maybe this newest book will be good. Haven't read The Hating Game, but if the writing style is similar, my ambivalence towards booktok recommendations is affirmed once again.
Characters improved a bit towards the end, but Will's sudden change of heart did not make sense to me. The characters felt flat for at least 65% of the book.
