I had many thoughts while reading this book that can basically all be boiled down to: why in the WORLD did so many people on TikTok love this?
Also I just realized that the cover art shows Clara’s hair as being blonde when she’s described multiples times as having black hair so now I’m angry about that.

talk about a book where every character needs just so much therapy. I was gonna say "don't read this if you like to feel happy when reading" but it had a sweet ending imo so who knows.
