4.5/5

This book was such a wild ride. I am always a sucker for an unreliable narrator. This is the perfect weird girl lit book that makes you route for a very morally black character. I love that this is marketed as a combination of All's Well and Yellowface because that was exactly the vibes it gave me.

Wow. She has done it again. This book has such a magical setting and great characters. The ending has me thirsting for the next book! My only complaint is that the enemies to lovers moved a bit to fast for me; it felt like they forgot all their hatred for each other over night.

Although a short read, it was a bit of a difficult read. There are no chapters to break up this monolog; there are also no quotations around what the people are saying. It was a bit difficult to figure out who was saying what. However, once I got used to the writing and figured out who was saying what, this was an interesting story. A little eccentric, but interesting.

This was a great coming of age book dealing with young queer love and discovering who you are. It shows the struggles of leaving relationships that aren't healthy, and navigating unrequited crushes. My only complaint is that for the first half of the book, I thought they were in college only to find out they're only 16.
