- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.5
I wasn’t expecting all of this darkness and unlikeability! The main character needed therapy more than anything in life, but I found it so fascinating how easily manipulated everyone else was around her too 😳
I’d say at some parts, I couldn’t stop, and at some parts I put the book down and felt a bit meh 🤷🏻♀️ The ways of an untrustworthy narrator I suppose.
This one gets 3.5 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨

However, the ending was very frustrating. it feels like everything in the book sort of slots into place and you begin to, in a warped way, understand why Irina is the way she is. and you start to resonate with her pain more while being even more disgusted with her actions. and then it just...ends?
