“I’ll deal with whatever ruin I have to call down upon us. On me. I suppose I deserve it anyway.”

When Skye’s sister goes missing, she must unlock her deepest secrets and face the reality of her toxic sisterhood in order to save herself. I love that the author wasn’t afraid to give us unlikable characters while also having us still feel something for them besides just hatred. I didn’t enjoy how much fluff and filler information there was, I feel the book could have been 50 pages shorter and a star better. I think there’s a lot of Deirdre’s in the world, who are misunderstood and just looking for love and attention.
