I loved this so fucking much. So fun and reads like a fanfiction (compliment). The characters are super fun, and id say the main intrigue of the book. Laurence and Quentin have such a good dynamic and they are - dare i say - very cute. The plot also kept my interest the whole time and even though there were sometimes long areas between main plot events, the character interaction and tension between the characters was just so good. I really liked how the mystery was still kept throughout the whole book and you slowly discover important information as you go. It felt perfectly paced, never a dull moment. I also really appeciated the subtle discussion of consent that i felt was a theme throughout the book. Definately a new one of my top favorite books. I am so excited to read the rest of the series.
