Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

I think the author did a great job of quite literally plunging us into a fast paced, dark, hopeful story.

I really enjoyed how fast paced it was, but I do think that some of the pacing was off just a bit. The flashbacks were some of my favorite moments and I wish we would have gotten more from that.

There were a few twists that I enjoyed as well. The bi representation was done well, though I did find it interesting it was between 2 of the 3 main characters and that’s all I can say without spoiling lol.

Overall, I liked this book, but didn’t love it.
