The writing is so good, I get transported into its universe with no problem. There were no unnecessary pop-culture references that slap me back into reality. It’s its own story and I’m so… stressed. I probably felt more than the character’s did in that moment. I felt myself seething around 85% in (iykyk).
My heart is still beating fast. The tension was insane. The story is exciting. I wasn’t sure what to expect next and it was honestly just so stressful and I get why people are so drawn to it.
I read this after I’ve read the Once Upon A Broken Heart trilogy, and though most people I see recommend reading this first, I actually seem to like it more that I read that first because it feels a lot like how Star Wars 4-5-6 is recommended before 1-2-3. Lol.
I also feel that the line (spoiler for A Curse for True Love)
Overall, I love it but it is not for the faint-hearted. The stress of the last few chapters was beyond what I could normally bear.

There was enough mystery and world building to keep me interested in reading more, though the characters were a bit one dimensional they managed to hold my attention.
Other books I've read with this vibe did not have strong enough characters to keep me engaged and since this was a debut novel it has a lot of promise for what comes next.
