3.25/5⭐
Overall I enjoyed the book. I especially loved the scenes between Elizabeth and Calvin, they were so fun to read.
Though there were many pov's which I think were not needed, such as the dog. I love dogs, but I kept forgetting six thirty was a dog, and it kept us from seeing any character development with Elizabeth, because she really did not change much at all.
This book does go very dark at points but then it seems to brush a lot of those points off, as if they were there to tick something off a list and not delve into them a little deeper and how they impact the characters.
There are some other issues which you can read in other 1-3⭐ reviews which I think are more articulate than I could describe.
