Unwell is the word that describes how this book left me.
So so good. I liked the way it is structured, it resembles a chaotic mind and rushed, teenage thoughts.
I very much appreciated the map and family tree, otherwise, my reading experience would've been very unpleasant.
I also loved how easy it was to immerse myself in Sinclair's island and activities; now I want to make ice cream and go tubing. 🥲
And I thought about all the plot twists possible but the one that happened. WTF.
Oh, and loved the extra notes and content from the author.
