i don't know what to think of the book really. the concept is cool, i liked the pacing, the mysterious vibes were nice to read about but i really wished there was more the island setting which sounded beautiful. the characters fell super flat for me which was why i couldn't be as invested in the plot as much as i wanted to. i didn't care about them at all(though ivo intrigued me) and they were lowkey annoying. didn't care about the romance either. so, no thoughts head empty, an ambitious concept but could've been better.

thank you to wedneseday books and netgalley for the arc!
