Minor Annoyances —————

- I needed more childhood flashbacks to form that solid connection. And to help break my heart more…
- too much ballet talk — the obsession made me internally cringe
- Juniper — kids in books can always be a gamble, this child is SO MANIPULATIVE, and the adults just go with it 😒
- I wanted the plot twists to keep shocking me and it was more of a let down 🙁
- I just wanted this to be a SLOW AF BURN, it wasn’t, I wanted it to honestly make me pine along with them, not really…
- the hatred of ballet from Caroline was really not understandable and even when we find out more — ehhh?
