Thanks to NetGalley for my copy to review.

I flew through this book but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t just so the end would come faster. The premise was interesting but ultimately this book fell really flat in its execution and pacing. It seems like the authors couldn’t decide what lane this book would take and it left me dizzy with how often the tone and pace of the story would change. If I hadn’t been given a copy to review, I don’t know if I ever would’ve made it past the first few pages with how crude and off-putting the book starts out. I pushed through despite starting with a bad taste in my mouth and although the story did get slightly better after the opening chapters, it never really hit its stride. The ending felt totally unsatisfying and it felt like characters were going against everything we as readers had learned about them previously just to wrap up the story. Just pretty disappointing.
