This plot was 10/10 I was so ENGAGED throughout the whole book and finished it in less than two days. Thought I had it all figured out and the last 100 pages were just completely insane and I feel like I have to reread it immediately to see what I missed.
The only criticisms I would have is at times the writing felt.. strange idk  but I felt like the language was almost immature at times and that I was quite confused about how the beginning made sense after the plot twist but maybe I just need to reread! Still, I would 100% recommend this to anyone I loved it and I NEED a movie adaptation!!
