Really enjoyed this book! Had it for a while and finally got round to reading it, and feel stupid for not having done sooner! Read it really quickly, the story was so compelling, loved the dynamics between the characters I couldn’t put it down! Really love Violet and how real she feels. “Morally grey” aka a real person. She’s having to make difficult decisions, choosing what she says and all to help protect herself. Honestly can kind of relate to that. Highly recommend! Also LOVE the absolute hatred her and Cyrus have for one another, it’s so much fun to read. And Camilla is a win for the gays, she’s epic.
