debating b/w a 4 and a 3.75 🤔
well this was a really good debut novel! lauren roberts has a lot of potential - this book is definitely a testament to that (really, some quotes were lovely). i enjoyed the plot and the tension/banter between the characters, but i felt like some of those relationships were undeveloped (minus the fmc/mc). a few parts also felt like a bunch of popular tropes thrown in, and there were also quite a few spelling mistakes... namely one on the blurb of my edition 💀💀 also some words were overused imo - like pls search up some synonyms 🫠thankfully it doesn't take too much out of the story
was i thoroughly entertained and hooked tho? yes. i will beimpatiently waiting for the next bookÂ
