OH MY GOODNESS. A phenomenal read! 👏🏼
It was VERY long and sometimes I had to put the book down because at points, it wasn’t as engaging as usual. But the complexity and humanness of the characters kept me coming back. I felt love for each and every one of them 🥹
So many intense moments in the book too. I was HOOKED especially when there were big revelations! 😳
I audibly went ‘NO’ when Wendy realised whose son Jonah was 😳 Aaron, the first ever kind boyfriend that she had, had had sex with Violet?! Absolute madness!
I had a big soft spot for David especially.
4.5 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨ Content warnings below!
