It wasnt bad but the whole time I knew it wouldn't be more than 3 stars. It just wasn't that interesting to me. Good thing it was only available on Hoopla. If I wasn't getting through it so fast I would've stopped. And the sapphic element was so slow burn I thought everyone imagined it.
They only kissed at the very end.
They thought about each other but with the male friend confusing things, it could've just been good friends. That's okay too. But I feel if I hadn't read it was sapphic beforehand I densely would've been surprised at the end, lol. Speaking of the male friend, he seemed superfluous. Maybe a plot convenience. Lastly, I'm just learning it's a Rapunzel retelling. I can see that in the beginning. What I like is the princess saves herself aspect and that this doesn't just become a paranormal mask of the same exact story. Overall it was okay.
