for better or for worse. I went into this with my expectations too high. it was. fine.
the prose was good but nothing to die for. none of the characters felt realistic or even sympathetic to me (except indigo at points and azure’s mom who I’m not even sure we know her name).
one of those things that seems like it will be for me on paper, but I don’t resonate with in practice.
I dont get it babes (the hype) :/
