not my favorite of hers, I liked the plot tho and the strength of connection formed between young women who've been preyed on by older men. The resilience that sparks when someone finds another that has suffered the same trauma and validates its reality. I do feel like Ava Reid built up a whole fantasy world with political strife and two warring countries and then placed this story inside it, I think the xenophobia was unnecessary but I may have missed something.
