It had some great elements to it, but there was too much going all at once. The main character arc wasn't realistic in some ways and the villain was unimpressive as the book continued. Subplots needed to be removed, there needed to be more world building, and I felt like her mom did what she did for the sake of a message and plot than what made sense for her character. A lot of things didn't connect or make sense, a lot of new writer mistakes were made, so this book was a disappointment for me because I really enjoyed the beginning. With that said, I may pick up another book by this author because I can see them become amazing with each novel they write.
I did receive a copy of the book on Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Loved the premise, but the characters (and especially their relationships) could’ve been more developed and the plot kinda felt all over the place.
