Read for class but it was a really good read. It’s a semi-true story as the author drew inspiration from her own life.

Loved this one and how the characters are portrayed. Even the villains are lovable villains (love to hate them and hate to love them). I also loved the love triangle between Donatello and Dante/Jacks, honestly could’ve been happy either way.

This book was super easy to get swept up in, which I love. I am looking forward to the next two books to see what happens. I also love that it feels a bit like Alice in Wonderland.
