Do not be discouraged by the 3 ⭐️ rating, this novel is crafted with care and the premise is unique, at least it's unlike anything I've ever read before. I would still recommend it. I did enjoy about half of it, not to say I disliked the remaining half, I just struggled. I was a bit sad about some of the choices made in reference to a certain character, but that's on me and not the book.

This book is fun, and the plot is very creative. It definitely kept surprising me. It’s one of the more unique books I have read recently.  Some trigger warnings I added under Content Warnings.
