- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
4.0
I have a confession to make. I purchased this book solely because of its gorgeous cover. Just look at that stunning cover! I absolutely love it.
Now, onto the book itself. I believe I would appreciate it more as a novella rather than a novel. The chapters are short and easy to get through, and I enjoyed the thrill of wanting to know more. There are also humorous bits that I found myself cackling about.
The author tactfully tackles abuse and childhood trauma with ease, allowing us to piece things together as the story unfolds. However, the characters lack depth, which might make the book seem a bit dreary to some readers.
Overall, if you enjoy stories about sisterhood and are looking for something fun to pass the time, I believe this book will perfectly suit your taste.
Some of my favourite lines:
π βIt is as though love is only for the beautiful.β
π βIt is a marketing ploy: you look at a beautiful person with a great body and think maybe, if you combine the right clothes and accessorize appropriately, you can look as good as they do.β
π βI am sure they are celebrating him in hell.β
π βShe will always have me and I will always have her; no one else matters.β
