- Loveable characters? It's complicated
3.5
So now I feel like a deflated balloon. I was totally planning on giving this high stars and seek out more books by this author, but I’m afraid the ‘ending ruins the book’ would happen again. Such a bummer.
FYI content warnings: self harm starts on page 6, mental illness practically from the beginning, and the DV descriptions def made me anxious

Don’t Read If: you want a fast paced story(this is more of a slow burn), you easily get confused with a large cast of characters, if you’re sensitive to self harm, if you find most mysteries predictable.

Amaya finds herself getting invited to her ex-best friend (Kaavi) wedding and her ex-boyfriend in her hometown which she hasn't been back to in years. Once Amaya sees this, she is determined to make sure that this wedding never happens.
I had no clue what to expect going into this one, but it was actually a lot of fun. I loved the gossip that is bound to happen and the higher-class drama. Amaya was actually a very interesting character to follow and the different interviews added another layer to the story.
In the end, I did have the reveals mostly figured out around the 70% mark, so that did affect my overall rating. But it was still a very entertaining read.
Graphic: Toxic relationship
Moderate: Domestic abuse and Emotional abuse
