This book was a wild ride and one of the bleakest romances I’ve read. Ivy starts off as being an understandably bratty kid and becomes an absolutely wholly unlikeable character (which was definitely the point). I loved the writing of this book - Susie Yang had my attention from the very first paragraph which I can’t say for most books I read.
I just kind of wish there was something more here. It was enjoyable and upsetting and I don’t think I’ve yelled that aggressively at a book character in a long time but I can’t say I really LIKED the book.
An interesting character study - like watching a train crash: you can’t bear to look away but you also can’t say you enjoyed the ride.
