it was surprisingly unique for a YA contemporary book with magical realism elements. the MC was very unique and relatable somehow. i like how she was technically morally gray and her rivalry with Henry was pretty interesting. i actually cringed with her many times but dang was Henry a green flag. the ending was too happy I suppose but we're all okay with the poor girl going pretty unscathed so I don't care. the book did a critique of classism well in simple ways but it also kind of leaned capitalistic at the same time which I didn't really like but oh well. still a book i'd recommend and it's more have on the realism than magical part.
