Really enjoyed the writing. Found the nightmares made the story a little hard to follow in the middle. Ending was really great and definitely raised the rating.

insufferable male POV was pretty rough going, the ending from jen's POV was the dolly alderton you want and definitely brought up the rating. would have preferred an entire book from jen's perspective tbh.
