The text itself is so all over the place: mature and literary and trying to be poetic and then trashy and plain and funny and YA. It was a wonderful concept and a wild read, to me

This books was an absolutely fantastic read. Note that part one is difficult to get through and the main character is unlikeable for the start of the book, but I promise if you piwer through it is well worth is.

The book took a turn I didn't expect but I did appreciate. It was a little dark and I would recommend looking at triggers. But the romance got me smiling and kicking my feet while reading.

This book was darker than I thought. Would recommemd to check trigger warnings before reading. This book was very atmospheric and perfect for autumn/winter. This book is also heavy on the (gay) romance side, so you might like this if you are into those romantacy stories.

I was so excited about the premise of this book! Unfortunately, i ended skim reading a large portion of this book, especially the last part. It was just too slow and I didn't care anymore. I also didn't know this would be so romance heavy. It doesn't say clearly in the synopsis. However, I do enjoy some romantacies and part 2 was cute, but overall this was not the book for me.
