“This is the last time I'm asking you this
Put my name at the top of your list
This is the last time I'm asking you why
You break my heart in the blink of an eye, eye, eye”

This book is honestly a little sick and twisted. The drama gave me a tummy ache while reading. I appreciated how complex all of the characters were- it was hard to decide if you liked them or not in the end. Katarina and Heath had this very strong push and pull throughout the entire book despite all that happens. Honestly, I found his betrayal to be perhaps the harder to get past. I actually gasped at the moment. The book was a little too long in my opinion. It dragged at the beginning but once it picked up I couldn’t put it down. I recommend this book for fans of Carrie Soto is Back and Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Now I’ll brb but currently have the  urge to watch some ice dancing.
