I really enjoyed this one! The premise is super compelling and grabbed me right away. I did find the last 10% of the book was a little contrived and overly dramatic but that may be a me issue. My other issue, which is why I couldn't give this 5 stars, is that Bel is so standoffish at times that she comes off as rude and unlikable. Like I get it, she would have resentment after dealing with the life she's had but she lashes out so severely at people who don't deserve it at all. Mayhaps I'll venture into agggtm this year.
